Description
President Will Lee becomes embroiled in domestic and foreign turmoil in this "timely and gripping"(Booklist) thriller from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stuart Woods.
President Will Lee is having a rough week. His vice president just died during surgery. Confirmation hearings for the new vice president are under way, but the squeaky-clean governor whom Will has nominated may have a few previously unnoticed skeletons in his closet. And rogue CIA agent Teddy Fay is plotting his revenge on CIA director Kate Rule Lee--the president's wife. Plus there are some loose nukes in Pakistan that might just trigger World War III if Will's diplomatic efforts fall short. It's up to President Lee--with some help from Holly Barker, Lance Cabot, and a few other Stuart Woods series regulars--to save the world, and the upcoming election.
