In this riveting novel by two of Washington's ultimate insiders,
the chain of command is threatened when political power is bought
in blood. "At thirty-two minutes past eight this morning, in a
clear act of terrorism, the president of the United States was
assassinated." Secret Service Agent Michael Delaney has devoted his
entire career to protecting America's highest ranking elected
officials. But when his gun is found next to the bloody corpse of
the President of the United States, he becomes the prime suspect in
a brutal assassination that stuns the nation. As the vice president
assumes control of the shaken government, a series of violent
terrorist attacks is launched in cities across America, causing the
government to take ever more desperate steps to keep the population
safe. Shockingly, the resourceful enemy they are fighting comes not
from another country but from within America's borders. With each
passing hour, the potential for catastrophe grows and the web of
evidence implicating Delaney in the plot grows more convincing. It
will take all his cunning and years of special training to find out
who is framing him for the murder of a president. Not only are his
reputation and liberty at stake but the liberty of all Americans.
