Product Description
Former secret service agent turned successful entrepreneur Kurt Ford thought he had suffered his share of tragedy when the wife he adored died, leaving him to raise their young son alone. But years later, his beloved son - who also became a secret service agent - turns up dead, and Ford is inconsolable. He refuses to accept the government's story that his son committed suicide and begins investigating the case as a murder. Ford soon learns from an old secret service friend that two other young agents have also recently met with unusual deaths, and he discovers a common link between these agents and his son: all three were involved in a cryptic meeting with the president. If this meeting proves to be the cause of his son's death, Ford will attempt to do what only four other men in history have been able to accomplish - he will kill the president of the United States.
Amazon.com Review
Wealthy, high-tech entrepreneur Kurt Ford, once a Secret Service agent, doesn't believe that his son, an active agent himself, committed suicide. Using his money and connections, his knowledge of the inner workings of the Secret Service charged with guarding the nation's chief executive, and the computer technology at his command, Ford uncovers a link between a mysterious midnight meeting held by the president and the untimely deaths of the other agents on duty with his son that night. Even worse, he finds evidence pointing to one chilling 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 Service to undertake an attempt to kill the president and to live to enjoy his revenge, something no other presidential assassin has ever accomplished. And author Tim Green uses his own understanding of how the Secret Service goes about its mission to make the most of a riveting plot, which will give readers who've come to understand and empathize with Ford some extremely tense moments. It's hard not to cast this in one's mind as a movie; it's a juicy, action-packed story with a complex central character that has Harrison Ford written all over it. --Jane Adams
