R. D. Sherrill

The President of the United States is found murdered in the executive bedroom on the second floor of the White House. Spoiler Alert - the First Lady did it. But why? The answer is played out in the biggest trial in history, with the world watching the courtroom drama and wondering what would cause the billionaire heiress to kill the leader of the free world and the father of her children in cold blood.

The mayor's daughter has been abducted and authorities are powerless to find her. Evidence points to law enforcement involvement in the disappearance, so rookie patrolman Tanner Hobbs is assigned the impossible case but he can't do it alone. Enter the infamous Graham Ripley, a former detective who has been stripped of his badge and gun and is confined to a home for the criminally insane under mysterious circumstances. Ripley's skillful crime fighting is only second to his eccentric personality and tactics. Adding to the stress of his first major case, Officer Hobbs must secure the reluctant veteran lawman's freedom and recruit him to help with the mission, all the while keeping their involvement in the case a secret from the department and the public. The unlikely partners are immediately thrown into a web of intrigue and corruption as they follow the breadcrumbs, trying to catch the kidnappers and find the young girl before it's too late. The closer the duo gets to the truth, the more desperate the perpetrators become. Desperate times call for desperate measures for all parties involved and with each new development, it seems that no one is safe from the consequences of their actions.
