First Lady of the United States The Pursuit of Power - Anthony Scott |
This mystery novel answers the question.... How far will she go to win the White House? |
Is leading the Free World worth the lives of 45 innocent victims? Could she actually get away with it? The course of history changes dramatically when ‘Future Now’, the Presidential campaign plane of Senator Belanie Baxter, falls from the sky in a terror related rocket attack at the Houston Intercontinental Airport. Baxter’s husband, former President Ben Baxter, had successfully spent the day raising funds for his wife’s Presidential Campaign. Unfortunately, he and their only son are passengers on the ill-fated plane. Senator Baxter’s poll numbers jump as a result of the attack and she easily wins her Party’s nomination for President. The FBI’s initial investigation points to a terrorist attack, but not everybody is on board with that theory. Two agents, Michael Charles Hammer and Natalie Evans, are assigned to investigate the possibility the attack was personal. When they exhaust all other possibilities, they are convinced former President Ben Baxter was the target of the attack. But who was responsible for his death? There is a consensus of their colleagues that Senator Baxter planned the attack to assure her administration would be free of the influence of Ben Baxter. Hammer and Evans follow their instincts from the crash site in Houston, to the nominating convention in New York City and finally to Washington, DC. They gain leads along the way. The country is convinced terrorists shot down the plane, but Agents Hammer and Evans don’t buy it. They know someone benefited from this disaster, and that person could be residing in the White House because of it. Can they prove the former First Lady masterminded the ultimate political dirty trick? The agents continue their pursuit of justice, with the investigation eventually concluding in a way they would never have expected. Did she really do it? |
