State of Alert

About the book

The first couple is on high alert, facing new threats from both near and far...

Lieutenant Sam Holland, a seasoned D.C. homicide detective, has encountered numerous challenges in her career, but being asked to deceive her closest colleagues and her husband is uncharted territory. In a high-stakes situation involving national security, Sam strikes a risky deal that eventually backfires as she becomes entangled in a perplexing case that ultimately leads back to the White House. Meanwhile, her husband is grieving the loss of his trusted aide, Navy Lieutenant Juan Rodriguez.

For President Nick Cappuano, the betrayal is deeply personal. Military advisers from the previous administration had conspired against him, and now the individual who tried to warn him of the treachery is dead. However, nothing is as it seems, and as the NCIS builds its case against the disgraced Joint Chiefs, Nick must fulfill his presidential duties while constantly looking over his shoulder.

Just as Sam manages one crisis, another murder investigation demands her immediate attention. A woman connected to a cold case from the past is discovered dead in her residence, prompting Sam and her team to delve into old wounds to track down a cunning killer - all while considering if the threat may be closer to home than they initially thought.

As their family faces a new danger, Sam and Nick contemplate drastic measures to safeguard their loved ones. Amidst the chaos surrounding them, the couple finds solace in each other, drawing strength to navigate through the turbulent times ahead.
