Mike Kostanski is a Secret Service agent who finds himself in the untenable position of having to testify against the President of the United States. Rather than tell the truth and hurt the President, he lies and finds himself convicted of perjury. After his wife leaves him, he tries to get on with his life but finds that the very people that he thought were on his side are still out to get him. When he decides to fight back and try to regain his life, his daughter is kidnapped and, in the process of getting her back, he discovers that the President, a charismatic man with an eye for the ladies, is being controlled by a group of very powerful, corrupt men who will stop at nothing, including murder, to maintain their hold on the President.

Teaming up with the daughter of a senator, a powerful Washington lawyer and the special prosecutor, Kostanski sets out to clear his name and to restore honor to the office of the presidency. Combining all the elements necessary for a good, old-fashioned thriller, a President with a wandering eye, an ambitious First Lady willing to look the other way, murderers, drug dealers and corrupt corporate executives, Chriss has created a nail-biter. With sometimes dizzying speed and breakneck action, Chriss takes us on a very uncomfortable journey into the inner workings of politics hinting at things that we have all sometimes suspected goes in within our government. After reading this book, you will find yourselves paying a lot more attention to what our elected officials are doing.
