Time stood still.
The CCPS officers drew closer, stunners raised to our chest, scanners calculating every microscope movement we made. I glanced over at Espen, a lump in my throat.
He looked over at me, smiled and threw the first shot.
Behind the shrieks of bullets and people, I could hear it, very distant in the background, but still there.
Time had resumed its ticking sonata just as ours begun to end.
After only eight months on the job, President David Rodgers dies from an apparent heart attack, and Katherine Ann Miles, Rodgers’s VP, becomes the first woman to occupy the Oval Office. As she tries to calm a grieving nation and adjust to her new role, Katherine must also contend with an unrelenting power struggle with Congress—the ultimate boys’ club.
With Iran making grave threats against Israel, their troops positioned on the Israeli border, poised to attack, the new president faces her first test in quelling the explosive situation without resorting to major military options. Yet it seems danger lurks closer to home: Clues emerge, suggesting President Rodgers’s death wasn’t so natural. And whoever wanted him dead has Madam President in the crosshairs—and at close range.
A traitor lies in wait as a widespread conspiracy infiltrates the highest level of government in D.M. Annechino’s third novel, a bold, fast-paced political thriller.
