Description
One secret could bring down the government when the President's memorable affair becomes a nightmare he longs to forget in this page-turner from James Patterson that will keep you up reading all night long.Sally Grissom is a top Secret Service agent in charge of the Presidential Protection team. She knows that something is amiss when she's summoned to a private meeting with the President and his Chief of Staff without any witnesses. But she couldn't have predicted that she'd be forced to take on an investigation surrounding the mysterious disappearance of the First Lady -- with strict orders to keep it a secret.The First Lady's absence comes in the wake of the scandalous, public revelation of the president's affair, so at first it seems as though she is simply cutting off all contact as she recuperates at a horse farm in Virginia. What begins as an innocent respite quickly turns into a twisted case when the White House receives a ransom note along with the First Lady's finger.

Jeffery Deaver and James Patterson both write gripping suspense novels characterized by clever plot twists, memorable characters, menacing atmospheres, psychological overtones, and often nightmarish qualities. -- Kim Burton
Jonathan Kellerman and James Patterson write gritty, suspenseful series that combine psychological insights into crime and criminals with police procedures. For both, vividly drawn characters, page-turning pacing, and cinematic story lines create compelling and twisted crime stories filled with violence and grisly details. -- Joyce Saricks
Though there's no doubt that James Patterson is the better-known author, both he and James Siegel use similar writing styles--short chapters and paragraphs--to keep the tension high. Both authors also feature twists and turns, which fuel fast-paced plots. -- Shauna Griffin
Both authors' books are practically guaranteed to hit the bestseller lists, whether they are written for adult or youth audiences. James Patterson partners with many co-writers for his youth fiction; Bill O'Reilly generally sticks to nonfiction adaptations of his adult books. The two partnered on a bestselling picture book. -- Autumn Winters
Both authors write intense, fast-paced thrillers starring courageous detectives who take on investigations that could make them the killer's next target. James Patterson writes for adults, teens, and children; Robyn Gigl writes primarily for adults. -- CJ Connor
Though James Patterson also writes in a plethora of other genres, both his and Anne Holt's catalogs are filled with exciting titles for readers looking for fast-paced and suspenseful mystery thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley
James Patterson and Ridley Pearson both feature serial murders, series detective protagonists, bleak outlooks, graphic violence, and psychological implications, though Pearson's novels are more densely written and reflective in tone than those of Patterson. -- Kim Burton
Though James Patterson's thrillers are generally faster paced than Rachel Howzell Hall's, both write compelling and suspenseful mystery thrillers sure to excite fans of the genre. -- Stephen Ashley
Like James Patterson, John Sandford writes hard-edged, suspenseful novels of detection. Sandford offers similarly fast-paced, bleak stories, pervaded by a menacing atmosphere. Psychological details are often the key to the case, and the story unfolds with strong language and graphically portrayed violence. -- Kim Burton
While Attica Locke's writing focuses on atmosphere and James Patterson's is more plot-driven, both create a variety of twisty and surprising cases in their compelling mystery thrillers. -- Stephen Ashley
Greg Iles writes more elegantly than James Patterson, but tells equally complex stories of gritty suspense. Plot twists, contemporary settings (although he has also written suspenseful thrillers set in World War II), alternating points of view, and graphic violence feature prominently. -- Kim Burton
These authors' works have the appeal factors action-packed, and they have the genres "fantasy fiction" and "science fiction"; and the subjects "teenagers," "boys," and "twin brothers."
