ia. Forced to announce his candidacy for the presidency sooner than originally planned, the road to the White House becomes more treacherous - and deadly - than Will and his wife, Kate, an associate director in the Central Intelligence Agency, could have imagined. A courageous and principled man, Will soon learns he has more than one opponent with whom he must contend. Thrust into the national spotlight as never before, he becomes the target of clandestine forces who will use all of their money and influence to stop him - dead - in his tracks. Now Will isn't just running for president, he's running for his life. "A smart, satisfying thriller that offers a timely and shrewd assessment of the American political process." (Booklist) From Library Journal Set during the 2000 presidential election, this work revolves around the vice president and leading contender for the Democratic nomination, who withdraws due to the early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Joining the race is moderate and popular senator Will Lee, who has several problems besides his late start, including his involvement with a sexy actress and her former boyfriend. Lee unsuccessfully defended the boyfriend during a murder trial and had a brief affair with the actress. Woods (Orchid Beach) offers a well-told but rather predicable post-Bill Clinton political tale, enhanced by reader Jonathan Marosz's excellent presentation.
