The President's Daughter
Synopsis
On the heels of his best-selling Drink with the Devil, Jack Higgins teams an old hero with a new, who together must race against the clock to save the kidnapped daughter of the President of the United States.
Twenty years ago, a brave young man in Vietnam saved the life of a widowed French-woman, and a brief, passionate affair ensued. Now that young hero is President of the United States, a true golden boy—until the day his world turns upside down. On a visit to Paris, he sees his former love again for the first time, and she directs his attention to a beautiful young woman across the room. Her daughter, she say. And his. Their secret. But the surprises are only beginning.
Someone, somewhere, has also discovered the truth, and acting with terrible speed, a group of men seizes the girl. If the President does not comply with their demands, they will execute her. If he uses any of America’s security agencies to track them down, they will execute her. He has ten days to decide.
The President turns to the only men he feels can help—Sean Dillon, the IRA enforcer turned security specialist whose work had impressed the President in London; and Blake Johnson, the decorated Marine and FBI agent who heads the elite White House group known only as “The Basement.” If these two cannot find his daughter, the President must face the most momentous decision of all. And meanwhile, the hours tick by….
In a classic thriller full of high-tension action and harrowing twists, The President’s Daughter is Higgins at his best.
