Eminent Oxford don Sir Harrison Ashcroft, on the verge of proving that Hitler did not die in the bunker, is murdered in Berlin. His daughter, Emily, continues this quest. Her life is endangered but she has new and unexpected protectors: Rex Foster, researching the vainglory of Nazi architecture; Nicholas Kirvov, curator of a Soviet art museum; and Tovah Levine, Mossad agent. The four prove a tough match for a coterie of neo-Nazis conspiring to perpetuate Hitler's image and obscure the details of his death.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
The time is 1964. The place is the Cabinet Room of the White House. An unexpected accident and the law of succession have just made Douglass Dilman the first black President of the United States. This is the theme of what was surely one of the most provocative novels of the 1960s. It takes the reader into the storm center of the presidency, where Dilman, until now an almost unknown senator, must bear the weight of three burdens: his office, his race, and his private life.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 794
Rye Mallett, a fearless "freight dog" pilot charged with flying cargo to far-flung locations, is often rough-spoken and all business, but soft on regulations when they get in the way of meeting a deadline. But he does have a rock-solid reputation: He will fly in the foulest weather, day or night, and deliver the goods safely to their destination. So when Rye is asked to fly into a completely fogbound northern Georgia town and deliver a mysterious black box to a Dr. Lambert, he doesn't ask questions.

Publisher's Summary
On a state visit to Moscow, Billie Bradford, the beautiful and brilliant wife of the President of the United States, is abducted by the Soviets and replaced by Vera Vazilova, a superbly trained Russian undercover agent and actress who is the First Lady's physical double.
The impostor's mission - to induce the President to reveal a U.S. secret that will drastically tip the world balance toward Russia. But one false move - whether before TV cameras or in the White House bedroom - can destroy the entire masquerade.
And in Moscow, Billie also has a mission - to frantically seek ways to escape while daringly leading a Soviet intelligence officer astray about the most intimate area of her married life.
Two women, each playing a treacherous game in a foreign land, each taking a desperate gamble in the arms of the other's lover--a world-shaking gamble that only one of them can win...
Praise for The Second Lady
"Intense, suspenseful... Every ingredient known to produce a thriller!"- Los Angeles Times "Fast-paced, action-packed, and sex-fired!"- New York Post
A Literary Guild Featured Alternative
Special Bonus - An Excerpt from the novel Desire, by Amy Wallace, is included at the end of the audiobook!
Publisher's note: If you have not discovered the fiction of Irving Wallace, you are in for a treat. Starting with his controversial best-seller The Chapman Report (which was feautured in Stephen King's new thriller, 11/22/63, and continuing on through The Man - a novel in which a black senator became president in the turbulent 1960s (for which Wallace's family received threats while the movie - featuring James Earl Jones - was in production), as well as The Prize, The Miracle, and many others, Wallace provided fast-paced, intricately researched thrillers on pace with the world around him. Charged with intrigue, sex, and wonderfully complex plots, Wallace sold literally millions of copies of his novels worldwide. It is our pleasure at Crossroad Press to bring them back, one by one, in digital. It has also our privilege to work with Wallace's daughter, Amy, an accomplished author in her own right. Amy passed on unexpectedly and far too young in 2013. We have brought back Amy's critically acclaimed novel Desire - in both digital and audio, as well as her biography of James Sidis - The Prodigy. Just search Irving Wallace, Amy Wallace, or Crossroad Press for our growing catalog of their work.

The Second Lady
The Second Lady is an interesting look into 80's era US and Soviet relations. When the Russians find an actress, who with a little cosmetic surgery, can pass as the First Lady of the United States, they plan to put her in place to get secrets from the President.
The story has a lot of potential and in fact does execute many of the plots well. My biggest problem with the story was that it was too long. You could have shortened it by an hour or so (audio wise) and it would have still had the same effect.
I did enjoy the book and would recommend it to others.
