The second collaboration between a former president and the most commercially reliable thriller writer alive. The first was about a president who goes missing. This one is about a First Gentleman on trial for a murder from decades earlier, with his wife in office while it happens.
The pull of these books is the procedural detail that only one of the two authors could supply. How the residence actually works, what the Secret Service does, where the real constraints on a president sit.
The courtroom plotting is standard. The access is not.
