About the book
A bewildering sequence of events culminates in a disconcerting conclusion...
The First Family is currently holding their inaugural Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House when Secret Service agents swiftly move them to safety. First Lady Samantha Cappuano is anxious to know the whereabouts of her children, while President Nick Cappuano assembles his team to investigate the threat that prompted such a drastic reaction.
Meanwhile, Sam's detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department are just starting to look into three recent murders of individuals inexplicably killed, while IT Lieutenant Archelotta tends to a close friend who was also attacked in a similar manner. As the evidence starts to piece together, a chilling realization emerges, prompting Sam to race against time to connect the dots before it's too late. To add to the chaos, she now has a significantly larger Secret Service detail by her side.
If that wasn't challenging enough for one week, a troubling incident from the past resurfaces, putting Sam on the defensive as she strives to safeguard her career and reputation from a vicious assault. The scent of revenge is in the air, but the identity of the perpetrator remains a mystery – could it be someone from her or Nick's past?
Sam, Nick, and the First Family encounter one perplexing obstacle after another, leading to a climactic showdown that could alter everything.
