About this listen

In James Patterson's new stand-alone thriller, one secret can bring down a government when the president's affair to remember becomes a nightmare he wishes he could forget.

Sally Grissom is a top secret service agent in charge of the Presidential Protection team. She knows that something is amiss when she is summoned to a private meeting with the president and his chief of staff without any witnesses. But she couldn't have predicted that she'd be forced to take on an investigation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the first lady - with strict orders to keep it a secret.

The first lady's absence comes in the wake of the scandalous, public revelation of the president's affair, so at first, it seems as though she is simply cutting off all contact as she recuperates at a horse farm in Virginia. What begins as an innocent respite quickly reveals itself as a twisted case when the White House receives a ransom note along with the first lady's finger.

Good political thriller

Political corruption and the power trip that is the
Presidentsy put a female secret service agent
in the hero role to uncover the missing first lady's whereabouts. Excellent narration as
the mystery builds. Kept me interested all the way. Not sure the final explanation was all that clear but overall a good read

Difficult to differentiate characters

The narrator could have done a better job of differentiating among the characters in the book; especially the female characters. They all sounded about the same.
