The most powerful man on earth is dead, and all that he has left behind him are questions . . . Elizabeth Forrester thought she knew that man better than anyone - the President of the United States was her husband.
But now, on the eve of his funeral, Elizabeth is forced to confront some deeply disturbing questions: why were the private quarters of the White House burgled on the very day that the President died? How did a government aide come to die in an explosive fire? And why was a junior Pentagon official desperate to contact her just hours before he fell to his death in a mysterious climbing accident? Worse of all, how well did Elizabeth really know her husband and what terrible secrets lay behind his presidency?
When a tenacious journalist, Mark White, begins investigating the Forrester White House, Elizabeth is faced with the ultimate challenge: either to bury the secrets of her own past . . . or to run for the very office her husband once held . . .
