A new Political Thriller as timely as today's headlines In describing the Soviet Union, Winston Churchill called it a "riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma." Those words could easily apply to Madame President. On the joyful night of her fourth State of the Union address, President Kate MacIntyre and her husband, Deacon, feel the explosion before they hear it. Smoke fills the sky. Her Vice President has been assassinated. This act of terrorism by Hezbollah soon leads to a Mexican drug cartel and creates the ultimate crime of opportunity. Only a freak malfunction of an IED spares the President's life.

The drug lords or Hezbollah or yet another enemy of the United States?
