Another excellent thriller/mystery by Patterson and Clinton. President Madeline Wright is running for re-election but two journalists uncover the fact that her husband was was a suspect in the murder of a cheerleader from his college days.

Was the newly discovered evidence planted? If so, by whom? Cole Wright, the First Gentleman is not on trial for murder.

I love the short chapters that move the story along quickly and the politics that are discussed. There are some good suggestions made about saving our country from too much national debt while also saving entitlements. I can only imagine if you are not a fan of the Clintons, that you would not like this book, but I would suspect most of those people would not pick up this book.
