Soft Target - Levin, Michael

. .

Résumé :
Happy-go-lucky U.S. President James Jimmy Hendricks has a big problem. He's supposed to sell America on a new anti-terror bill, but his Chief of Staff, who doesn't trust him, won't let him even read it. Meanwhile, a dying Supreme Court Justice secretly gives his sole clerk, Abigail Johnson, orders to declare the bill unconstitutional should it reach the Court. Suddenly everyone from the President to the FBI to the terrorists themselves want to find out who Abigail Johnson is . before she gets to cast the vote that changes the nation. Trust us, it's funnier than it sounds here. Praise for Michael Levin's Previous Novels Levin's verbal humor glistens.-The New Yorker.
