De: Marie Force

Narrado por: Eva Kaminsky

A Baffling Series of Events Leads to An Unsettling Conclusion…

The First Family is hosting their first Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House when Secret Service agents mobilize to hustle them to safety. First Lady Samantha Cappuano wants to know where her children have been taken while President Nick Cappuano mobilizes his team to learn more about the threat that caused such a dramatic response.

Meanwhile, Sam’s homicide detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department are in the earliest stages of investigating three new murders of people struck down for no apparent reason as IT Lieutenant Archelotta cares for a new friend who was similarly attacked. One by one, the clues begin to add up to a disturbing conclusion that has Sam racing to put the pieces together before it’s too late. Adding to the chaos, she’s now accompanied by a much larger Secret Service detail.

As if that wasn’t enough for one week, a troubling incident from the past resurfaces and has Sam on defense, defending her career and reputation from a ruthless attack. An aura of retribution is in the air, but who’s behind it, and could the perpetrator be someone she—or Nick—have tangled with in the past?

Sam, Nick and the First Family cast face one vexing challenge after another, leading up to an explosive showdown that could change everything.

Best series ever

I’ve been a fan of Sam and Nick from the very first book and have never missed one. This book is longer than most which made me very happy. The story never disappoints and the narrator has become all the characters I have come to know and love. Can’t wait for the next book!

Series just keeps getting better

I really enjoy listening to any book by Marie Force. Nick and Sam are terrific together and with their family also. Someone has done something to sent President and First Lady to a safe bunker in the White House. That's only the beginning of the problems that they end up facing in this book. Will they be able to figure out who is behind all the threats against them? As usual, I finished this book too fast since I couldn't stop listening. Now I have to wait for the next book. Eva Kaminski does her usual wonderful narration.

Very entertaining story and performance

This is a very engaging, entertaining story and the performance is excellent (as always in this series). I love the series, the characters, and this story. Five stars all the way.
