The New York Times
and #1 internationally bestselling author of the Department Q series is
back, with a terrifyingly relevant stand-alone novel about an America
in chaos.“The president has gone way too far. . . . These are practically dictatorial methods we’re talking about.” Sixteen
years before Democratic Senator Bruce Jansen was elected president of
the United States, a PR stunt brought together five very different
people: fourteen-year-old Dorothy “Doggie” Rogers, small-town sheriff T.
Perkins, single mother Rosalie Lee, well-known journalist John Bugatti,
and the teenage son of one of Jansen’s employees, Wesley Barefoot. In
spite of their differences, the five remain bonded by their shared
experience and devotion to their candidate.For Doggie, who
worked the campaign trail with Wesley, Jansen’s election is a personal
victory: a job in the White House, proof to her Republican father that
she was right to support Jansen, and the rise of an intelligent,
clear-headed leader with her same ideals. But the triumph is
short-lived: Jansen’s pregnant wife is assassinated on election night,
and the alleged mastermind behind the shooting is none other than
Doggie’s own father. When Jansen ascends to the White House, he
is a changed man, determined to end gun violence by any means necessary.
Rights are taken away as quickly as weapons. International travel
becomes impossible. Checkpoints and roadblocks destroy infrastructure.
The media is censored. Militias declare civil war on the government. The
country is in chaos, and Jansen’s former friends each find themselves
fighting a very different battle, for themselves, their rights, their
country . . . and, in Doggie’s case, the life of her father, who just
may be innocent.

More Praise for Jussi Adler-Olsen:
“[S]atisfyingly dark, both in tone and content...an undeniable page-turner.”
