A thriller in the series that began with #1 New York Times bestseller, “one of the finest and most gripping political novels of our era”(The New York Times). The Advise and Consent series is a landmark of political fiction, displaying a depth of insider Washington knowledge and a canvas of compelling characters that catapulted each novel to the top of the bestseller lists. At the end of the previous novel, Preserve and Protect, Allen Drury left his readers with one of the greatest cliffhangers of all time. After an assassin’s bullet rings out, we are left to wonder who was killed—the Liberal Vice President Ted Jason, or staunch Conservative Presidential Candidate Orrin Knox? The answ...

For those of you that enjoy 'who done-it' detective novels, this one will keep you on your toes. Our detective Brad Michaels' closest friend has been murdered shortly after their phone conversation. The topic was not discussed, only that it was important and needed Brad's attention immediately. He was too late. Strange as it may seem, there is no discernable motive for Bill Abbott's demise, that is until our detective uncovers information leading to the existence of some Columbian White. He weaves himself through this maze of oddball suspects, and through sheer genius is on the verge of cracking this case wide open. Not so fast, the FBI wants a piece of the action if for no other reason than to clean their faces of eggs. Brad Michaels doesn't let the Feds intimidate him, backs them into a corner and strikes a bargain. They have no choice. Brad Michaels shows why his reputation is beyond reproach and solves two cases for the price of one.
In one of two possible ends to the Pulitzer Prize–winning thriller series, the US president faces threats from half-way around the world—and much closer. The Advise and Consent series is a landmark of political fiction, displaying a depth of insider Washington knowledge and a canvas of compelling characters that catapulted each novel to the top of the bestseller lists. At the end of the previous novel, Preserve and Protect, an assassin’s bullet rings out, and we are left to wonder who was killed. Was it the Liberal Vice President Ted Jason, or staunch Conservative Presidential Candidate Orrin Knox? The answer to that question was so large that Pulitzer Prize–winner Drury had to write...

The relentlessly self-promoting amateur archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann took full credit for discovering Homer's Troy over one hundred years ago, and since then generations have thrilled to the tale of his ambitions and achievements. But Schliemann gained this status as an archaeological hero partly by deliberately eclipsing the man who had launched his career. Now, at long last, Susan Heuck Allen puts the record straight in this fascinating archaeological adventure that restores the British expatriate Frank Calvert to his rightful place in the story of the identification and excavation of Hisarlík, the site now thought to be Troy as described in the Iliad. Frank Calvert had lived in the ...
