When private detective Dana Cutler is hired to follow college student
Charlotte Walsh, she never imagines the trail will lead to the White
House. But the morning after Walsh's clandestine meeting with
Christopher Farrington, President of the United States, the pretty young
coed is dead--the latest victim, apparently, of a fiend dubbed "the D.C.
Ripper."
A junior associate in an Oregon law firm, Brad Miller is stunned by the
death row revelations of convicted serial killer Clarence Little. Though
Little accepts responsibility for a string of gruesome murders, he
swears he was framed for one of them: the death of a teenaged babysitter
who worked for then-governor Farrington.
Suddenly nowhere in America is safe for a small-time private eye and a
fledgling lawyer who possess terrifying evidence that suggests the
unthinkable: that someone at the very highest level of government,
perhaps the president himself, is a cold and brutal killer.
