Aprašymas

"Electrifying...A political thriller of the highest order, cut from the cloth of Allen Drury and Richard Condon." ―Jon Land, USA Today-bestselling author of The Tenth Circle

Local and national political figures are systematically assassinated. A growing secessionist movement stirs up anti-government fervor. The combination creates instability, fear, nationwide unrest--and lack of confidence in leadership. With the clock ticking toward a monumental constitutional crisis, President Morgan Taylor assigns Secret Service Agent Scott Roarke to investigate the assassinations.

Meanwhile, Roarke's fianc�e, an assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, is tasked with researching the separatists. As attorney Katie Kessler goes rogue to gather evidence for the court, Roarke hunts a lone assassin across two continents. Their paths lead them both to a decades-old plot hatched at a private school in Switzerland--and now leading to North Korea.

With the assassin ready to make his greatest kill and critical destabilizing votes occurring state-by-state, the president must decide whether to activate America's own secretive, long-incubating active measures against an enemy that can't be exposed, but must be stopped. Timely and revealing, with an inside-out view of real and present dangers, Executive Force brings a political reality to the page that feels like breaking news.

"Couldn't be more timely...as harrowing as it is entertaining."--Joseph Finder, New York Times-bestselling author of House on Fire
