'So hard to put down' The Express 'Turn up the heat' New York Times '[Patterson] always takes
thrills to the next level' Pittsburgh Tribune _______________________________________ He's
America's most brilliant president ever. He's also a psychopath. US president Keegan Barrett
swept into office on his success as director of the CIA. Six months into his first term he
devises a clandestine power grab with a deadly motive: Revenge. President Barrett personally
orders Special Agents Liam Grey and Noa Himel to execute his plan but their loyalties are
divided. As CIA agents they've sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all threats both foreign and domestic. When the threat comes directly from the
Oval Office that's where the blowback begins. _______________________________________ Praise
