SOMETHING IS TERRIBLY WRONG WITH THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. AND NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT. Lance Allworthy looks like a Greek god. He was voted best quarterback ever in college. He is brilliant, charismatic, devilishly charming, ambitious - and the President of the United States. What could possibly go wrong? Plenty, apparently. Robert Lisle's debut novel is a non-stop international thriller that moves at breakneck speed between small-town America and Lebanon, Paris, Cyprus, Oxford, Baltimore and Washington D.C. The world is entering a terrifying era of terrorism and anti-Americanism. Beirut is in ruins, with Christians and Muslims locked in an endless civil war. Anything American is fair game. Meanwhile, a mysterious French diplomat is grooming a stunningly beautiful Muslim companion half his age - but for what? And what's going to happen in Washington D.C. on Christmas Day? America is drifting towards disaster. But why does the President not seem to care? As the clock ticks towards the deadly attacks of 9/11, the personal lives and tragedies of the presidential family intertwine with high international intrigue, plots and counterplots, sizzling romance and steamy scandals, hurtling towards a conclusion that will leave you breathless.
