My wife and I started dating in high school.

Our families were much the same with both fathers working and both mothers homemakers.

Values were taught through our family life.

I am glad my Dad was not a politician, nor my future father-in-law.

The peer pressure was enough, but I cannot imagine being a daughter or son of an American President. Even dating one or the other!

But Michael Garrick, who works at the White House for Edgar Simon the lead counsel for President Hartson, crosses my comfort line as is dating Nora, the President’s daughter.

Nora or Shadow, her Secret Service code name, has the young lawyer spellbound with her thrill a minute lifestyle.

Their first date turns into a “back-breaker” for Michael as he and Nora spot his boss Mr. Simon dropping a package in the woods which they retrieve, open, and keep part of the money enclosed.

This sets off a series of events only a loopy Nora could even dream of!

We go from a tour of the inner White House to the FBI to friends to family to mind-games to political opponents to love to death to losing jobs and just about every other emotion between!

Yes, this is an old read for some of you, but a most intriguing novel!

Well done Mr. Meltzer!
