Sinossi
Un segreto capace
di far crollare una nazione
Uno scandalo
che si trasforma in un incubo
Un nuovo, straordinario stand alone dal maestro incontrastato del thriller
Il presidente degli Stati Uniti, Harrison Tucker, è al centro di una tempesta mediatica. La sua relazione extraconiugale è stata svelata ed è diventata di pubblico dominio. Per non alimentare lo scandalo e non gettare al vento gli sforzi impiegati per la campagna di rielezione, Tucker ha bisogno di sua moglie e del suo appoggio. Ma Grace Tucker è stanca dei trucchi del marito. Dopo anni di compromessi, promesse non mantenute, inganni e tradimenti, Grace non vuole arrendersi e decide di fuggire dalla città e dai suoi agenti, di sparire dai radar. Di scappare.
Sally Grissom è uno degli agenti segreti che vegliano sulla sicurezza del presidente. Quando viene convocata per una riunione riservata nello Studio Ovale, capisce subito che qualcosa è andato storto. È lei che, nel più totale silenzio, dovrà aprire le indagini per ritrovare Grace Tucker. È lei che dovrà capire quale segreto oscuro si cela in realtà dietro la sparizione. E dovrà farlo prima che per tutti sia troppo tardi.

Recensioni
Finally out for reading... James Patterson and Brendan DuBois renew their collaborative efforts with a new book full of thrills and political intrigue. As US President Harrison Tucker makes his final push for re-election, he finds himself in an awkward position. Caught leaving an Atlanta hotel with h Leggi tutto
I read the first five Alex Cross novels by James Patterson. They were good, but eventually they started to feel too similar, and I lost interest in the series. Then, Mr. Patterson largely began “writing” novels by simply allowing someone else to publish a book under his brand name. I had no interest Leggi tutto
One of the rare Patterson factory stories that is actually good. Kudos Brendan DuBois. An excellent listen or a quick read. 8 of 10 stars
The president is having a passionate affair with a member of his PR staff, but alas, the media catches on and all hell breaks loose. This was a delightful part soap opera, part thriller, part mystery as we see who will come out ahead in our little chess game.

I found this book incredibly frustrating as there were so many stupid things happening. Here’s a few examples; - There’s no way the First Lady would have been in that cabin and not found. She was only 3 miles upstream. - The horse farm had a shed full of illegal immigrants and despite the huge search Leggi tutto
A quiet day today and managed to listen to this in one day. A good stand alone atory with an unexpected twist
This is one of my book club picks. I don't usually read Patterson as I'm more into the physiological thrillers like Tana French. However, this was a quick read, the characters were surprisingly well drawn and emotional - I also find most thrillers focus on the plot instead of the character developme Leggi tutto
Between 2 star and 3 stars. I went with 2 star for some things just seen unreal or underdeveloped.
A light political thriller and a good collaboration, kudos to Brendan Dubois. I read The Cornwalls Are Gone and I much prefer The First Lady between the two. There are a few unanswered parts but overall this was a fun and quick read.
Barbara McBride butchered this book. Her mispronunciation of Maryland and Potomac made me cringe every time. Didn't anyone listen to this before publishing? Did anyone hear her pronounce these incorrectly? Anyway, the story was good but predictable. I think this is the lowest rating I have ever given Leggi tutto
