Publisher's summary

The President's Shadow: Booktrack Edition adds an immersive musical soundtrack to your audiobook listening experience! *

There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I find those stories for a living.

To most, it looks like Beecher White has an ordinary job. A young staffer with the National Archives in Washington, DC, he's responsible for safekeeping the government's most important documents...and, sometimes, its most closely held secrets.

But there are a powerful few who know his other role. Beecher is a member of the Culper Ring, a 200-year-old secret society founded by George Washington and charged with protecting the Presidency.

Now the current occupant of the White House needs the Culper Ring's help. The alarming discovery of the buried arm has the President's team in a rightful panic. Who buried the arm? How did they get past White House security? And most important: What's the message hidden in the arm's closed fist? Indeed, the puzzle inside has a clear intended recipient, and it isn't the President. It's Beecher, himself.

Beecher's investigation will take him back to one of our country's greatest secrets and point him toward the long, carefully hidden truth about the most shocking history of all: family history.

*Booktrack is an immersive format that pairs traditional audiobook narration to complementary music. The tempo and rhythm of the score are in perfect harmony with the action and characters throughout the audiobook. Gently playing in the background, the music never overpowers or distracts from the narration, so listeners can enjoy every minute. When you purchase this Booktrack edition, you receive the exact narration as the traditional audiobook available, with the addition of music throughout.

Narrator makes the story

Loved the continuation of Beecher’s story. Glad to follow the redemption of Niko by Clementine.

way worse than the second...sorry. but it was.

if you're looking for an extremely long book where the whole time you you're trying to figure out why you care about anything anymore, then this is it! there are a couple new characters, but no development. they arent important to any part of the story. which, by the way, you spend the entire time trying to figure out what the real story is about anyway. the murders? the past? the future? what are we concerned about? nobody knows anything in this book. the only reason I kept listening was because I wanted to find out what the book was really about. in the end, it wasn't really about anything. the first was good. the second was ok. I had hopes the third would come back and be good after spending all of book 2 establishing a new character, but it didn't at all. it got worse.
