***
The White House Chief of Staff is dead, discovered collapsed in his home. Paramedics say it was a heart attack, but something's not right - and only his intern, Hayley Chill, can see it.

After her fears are dismissed by police, Hayley uncovers an organisation buried in the furthest reaches of government. Now she has no way of knowing who she can trust.

Then things get really dangerous.

There is a plot to assassinate the president, one they are ruthless about hiding. They know that someone is on to them, and soon they will know that it’s her. So Hayley must work like the Deep State:
Infiltrate.
Trust no one.
Kill – or be killed.


For anyone that binge-watched The Bodyguard and Designated Survivor, who is looking for a thriller with a twist they won't see coming - fans of James Swallow, Terry Hayes, Gregg Hurwitz and Rob Sinclair will love this.

'The best political thriller that I have read in a long time. 5*'

'This one had great twists and turns. When I thought we were headed in one direction, it would veer off into another and I loved it'

'This is going to be THE book for 2020'
