Summary
President Steve Wade believes his latest affair with a beautiful Lebanese woman, Lucia Benoni, is a secret. When Lucia is murdered in mysterious circumstances, FBI Agent Kelly Smith is called in to investigate and uncovers links between Lucia, a hostile foreign power, a group of vicious white supremacists, and a shadowy high-placed Washington figure known only as 'Fox'.
As Wade continues to deny the affair, the press gets on the trail. Because of the national security implications, there are demands in Congress for Wade's impeachment; but if this were to happen, the law provides that Vice President Ellen Trevathan should become President. 'Fox' and his associates have other plans, which do not include allowing the lawful succession to take place. As time runs out Kelly may hold the key to preventing a coup d'état and a possible civil war.
After graduating from Cambridge University, Peter Murphy spent a career in the law, as an advocate and teacher, both in England and the United States. His legal work included a number of years in The Hague as defence counsel at the Yugoslavian War Crimes Tribunal.

An excellent story and scary presage of the Capital Riots
Listening to this book in late 2021, it seemed like an echo of the events that took place earlier this year. When I checked the year it was written I realised it presaged the events rather than echoed them. An exciting story, well paced and well read. Thoroughly recommend it.

Gripping
I was thoroughly gripped by this book. Lots of interesting threads and characters that I became invested in.
I’m British so found the politics and political shenanigans fascinating and rather disturbing.
The ending rounded everything off nicely which I appreciate, I don’t like things left hanging in the air and this didn’t do that at all.
A very entertaining and thought provoking listen

Good yarn
Story was let down by the wrong narrator. It was like Barbie was running the FBI

Disappointing! Misleading description!
Liked the description, so decided to give it a try, but hadn't expected it to be quite so girlie... It is more chick-lit than thriller... That'd be ok if that's what I was after, but that's not my thing and, therefore, I don't think the description was helpful. Anyway, found the female characters so emotional and ridiculous... gives girls a bad name!!
Oh, and the performance further emphasised the silly chick-lit feel... Didn't enjoy it!!
FYI...I gave up half way through, so my review is based on the first half.

Can't get past Ch 3
I've struggled to engage with this book.. The tone of narration is harsh to my (UK) ear. While the plot outline sounds promising , it didn't appeal.
