Official synopsis Publisher
While giving his third State of the Union address, a U.S. President is shot in the Capitol’s House Chamber via a drone. The first female president is then thrust into the Oval Office without an action plan from her predecessor. Relying on her abundance of grace and intelligence, she’s determined to make her tenure as POTUS meaningful and positive for the American people. An investigation of the shooting by a political blogger and an ex-newspaper reporter outpaces the work of the federal authorities. Their gamble pays off when the shooter approaches them with an exclusive story. After receiving a second contract request to assassinate the newly sworn in American president, the shooter, along with the unlikely partner he picks up in Las Vegas, returns to D.C. Capitol Secrets is a tightly woven tale of an ineffectual and corrupt Washington, and the struggles of a new White House administration attempting to initiate a constructive change to Capitol Hill’s business as usual tradition. Do the American people have any hope that Washington politics will transform and their elected officials actually do the work? Warning: Strong Language
