Usinghis money and connections, his knowledge of the inner workings of the SecretService charged with guarding the nation's chief executive, and the computertechnology at his command, Ford uncovers a link between a mysterious midnightmeeting held by the president and the untimely deaths of the other agents onduty with his son that night. Even worse, he finds evidence pointing to onechilling conclusion: that the president himself had a hand in his son's murder.Vowing to make him pay, Ford uses his thorough knowledge of the Secret Serviceto undertake an attempt to kill the president and to live to enjoy his revenge,something no other presidential assassin has ever accomplished. And author TimGreen uses his own understanding of how the Secret Service goes about itsmission to make the most of a riveting plot, which will give readers who've cometo understand and empathize with Ford some extremely tense moments. It's hardnot to cast this in one's mind as a movie; it's a juicy, action-packed storywith a complex central character that has Harrison Ford written all over it.--Jane Adams
