Race To The White House:

The book opens with a shocking murder/suicide at the White House, during which the President of the United States is murdered by his own son-in-law, Secret Service agent Robert McCarty, who then turns the gun on himself. The real mystery ensues when McCarty’s college buddy, journalist Jeb Willard, is handed a cryptic note following his friend’s funeral by McCarty’s parish priest. The note speaks of a deep conspiracy, and Willard returns to his North Carolina home to seek the sage advice of his father, a witty small-town newspaper man. Although his father warns him not to get involved, Willard is sucked into a maze of plots and threats as he reluctantly agrees to investigate the murder at the persuasive request of the country’s first female President, Helene Fordham, who, as Vice President, inherited the position. Lewis’s meaty character development and intriguing plot line will hook both political junkies and mystery buffs alike, and the book’s highly explosive climax ensures that readers won’t be disappointed by this thrilling page-turner. “The writing is crisp and the action is non-stop.
