'Brian Klein is destined to become a very big name in the thriller genre’ - Peter James
A terrorist plot to kidnap the President. A traitor in the White House. An impossible decision...
When intelligence confirms a credible plan to kidnap the President of the United States during a high-stakes visit to Saudi Arabia, Carmen Merino – Head of Presidential Security – is thrust into the most dangerous assignment of her career. She has one job: keep him alive.
But the President won’t back down. He won’t change his schedule. And the enemy is already in position.
As Air Force One touches down in Riyadh, Merino doesn’t know the full truth. Mohamed Al-Sharif, a brilliant and ruthless terrorist, has engineered a plan so audacious it could rewrite history: snatching the most powerful man on earth and vanishing with him into the lawless deserts of Yemen.
Worse still, a traitor buried deep inside the White House is making it happen, feeding Al-Sharif every move, meaning any decision Merino makes may already be compromised. Will she be able to keep POTUS safe? Or will the United States be forced into an unthinkable position – bargaining with terrorists for its President’s life.
A blistering international thriller packed with suspense, betrayal and global stakes perfect for fans of James Patterson.
