"Maggie Trousdale has been vice president for only forty-eight hours before she's thrust into the executive office. As smoke rises over Turkey from the wreckage of the former president's plane, America demands answers. Nobody knows what brought the aircraft down, Turkey has restricted all access to the crash site, and the White House is in chaos. But as the nation unravels, President Trousdale discovers a cryptic message left by her recently deceased predecessor. The attack on Air Force One may not have been a matter of foreign aggression. It may have been an inside job, and if it was, Trousdale is the next target. With crosshairs on her back and no one to trust, Trousdale turns to the only man she knows can't be bought: disgraced Force Recon Marine and criminal fugitive Reed Montgomery."--
