Jake Winter is a "forensic bureaucrat", working for the president, ferreting out wrongdoers and inefficiency in government. Maddy's husband, a former senator, has disappeared. Where, why, who spirited him away, all very shadowy and mysterious. Is it personal, between the senator and those who jerked him out of office? Political, something to blacken the current presidency? Sexual, to do with his hidden gay lifestyle? Jake needs to find out, to keep the president's name clear, and to save the woman he is more and more attracted to.
Great book, great characters, very engrossing and lots of twists and turns. The last sentence of the book is great!!
