Résumé :
Despite looking forward to a respite from his work with the CIA, Quint Cord is ordered back to Washington by the Director, Gerald Williams, when the President and his family come under attack by unknown forces following his embargo on heavy uranium destined for the country's enemies. When the President's daughter is kidnapped, the Cords move into the White House to assist in locating her. Quint, intuitive and trained in counterterrorism, and Lila, a leading expert in computer hacking, have both earned the President's trust through their commitment and expertise in solving other cases. Despite increased security, threats against the President and his family escalate. It takes a few lucky breaks and a lot of investigation to learn who is behind the carnage. The issue becomes how to stop the perpetrators of the attacks without creating an international incident.
