From the New York Times bestselling author of Guilty
When the First Lady dies in a fiery car crash, rookie attorney Jessica Ford is the only survivor of the tragedy. As the nation mourns, Ford has reason to believe it wasn't an accident. One by one, others in the First Lady's inner circle are being killed. Jessica must find out why- before she's next.
Jessica Ford is a young lawyer trying to rise in a powerful Washington, D.C., law firm. Her life gets thrown for a loop when she gets into a car accident that kills the first lady. Jessica wakes in the hospital to find someone trying to kill her as well-tipping her off that the crash wasn't just an accident and she never should have survived it. In steps Secret Service agent Mark Ryan, the head of the first lady's security detail. As bodies start piling up around Jessica, she and Mark have no one to turn to except each other, and as the conspiracy begins to point to some very high places, the duo begin to realize the key to saving their lives is locked away in Jessica's memories. Jessica and Mark make a superb team, and even if their romance feels tacked on and the big twist contrived, Robards's fans will enjoy this fast-paced and action-packed romantic thriller. (Mar.)

July 31, 2009: I'm a big fan of Karen Robards, and have listened to more of her books than I've read in print. Sorry to say, the choice of narrator ruined this book for me. I have no idea who could have thought this reader could do suspense. And her attempts at Southern accents are pitiful. Her voice is thin and shrill, reminding me of the Wicked Witch of the West telling Dorothy, "Ive got you now, my pretty!"
I actually had to stop listening & finish the book in print. And I enjoyed it very much.I Also Recommend: Salvation in Death (In Death Series #27), Promises in Death (In Death Series #28).
