Publisher's Synopsis
Hail to the Chief--a political thrill ride as current as today's headlines. President-elect Maggie Mathews--the first woman voted into the nation's highest office--is felled by a ruptured brain aneurysm just 10 days before her inauguration. While she lies in a coma, her vice president-elect attempts to conceal his past, and with help from chief of staff Bruce "Skeeter" Jamison, he gambles he can keep his dark secret from coming to light. But Maggie's husband, the former secretary of state who schemes to seize the reins of power for himself, has other ideas.
