At thirty-two minutes past eight this morning, in a clear act of terrorism, the president of the United States was assassinated" A nightmare scenario is brought to frightening life in this suspense-packed novel informed by a Washington insider's knowledge. Sweeping from the White House Situation Room to Camp David to the inner sanctums of the FBI, Caspar Weinberger's Chain Of Command pits Secret Service agent Mike Delaney against a ruthless hidden enemy with the cold-blooded will to take out the leader of the free world in an explosive act of violence - and the arrogance to frame Delaney for the killing. Someone has infiltrated the highest levels of government to see their catastrophic plans made real, and Delaney, prepared to give his life for his president, is now on the run to save himself, his innocence - and America's freedom.
