Description
'Elegant and well-paced ... Like "Emily in Paris" meets "Scandal"—fantastic fun.'— The New York Times A mysterious First Lady. The intrepid journalist writing her biography. And the secret that could destroy them both. Tired of covering the grating dysfunction of Washington and the increasingly outrageous antics of President Henry Caine, White House correspondent Sofie Morse quits her job and plans to leave politics behind. But when she gets a call from the office of First Lady Lara Caine, inviting her to come in for a private meeting, Sofie's curiosity is piqued. Sofie, like the rest of the world, knows little about Lara - only that she was born in the USSR, raised in Paris, and worked as a model before moving to America and marrying the notoriously brash mogul. When Lara asks Sofie to write her official biography, and to finally fill in the gaps of her history, Sofie's curiosity gets the better of her. As Lara's story unfolds, Sofie can't help but wonder why Lara is rehashing such sensitive information. Why tell Sofie? And why now? Suddenly, Sofie is in the middle of a game of cat and mouse that could have explosive ramifications. 'Spectacular... The story succeeds on every level' — Lee Child 'A gripping legacy of the Cold War and its people' — People Magazine 'Wholly original' — Entertainment Weekly
