"…deftly-written novel full of action, surprises and great, well-developed characters." -John Hazen, author of Fava and Zyklon The murder of a football coach affects not only his university but also the White House, which counts as alums the president, First Lady (the coach's step sister) and other members of the administration. Another alumnus, Daniel Wells-a Silver Star recipient while serving in Iraq and currently head of a veteran's organization-is also caught up in these events. Who and how many are responsible for the coach's and several additional and related killings in the Washington area--and is Wells also a target? And just how closely related is the First Lady to these events? Fifteen years earlier Wells planned to marry her, but something happened that precipitated an end to the relationship-the full details Wells never knew. Will Wells finally learn what caused their break-up, and how her troubled past is associated with the recent murders in the Capital City?
