Henderson Equation

He could be the next US president-if the media lets him-in this political thriller from the New York Times-bestselling author of The War of the Roses. Two years ago, Executive Editor Nick Gold and his staff were at the top of their game when their newspaper, the Chronicle, toppled a corrupt president. But in Washington, DC, that's yesterday's news. Now, his hotshot reporter is investigating rumors that the liberal frontrunner for the presidency, Senator Burton Henderson, engineered the assassination of a foreign leader during his NSA career. If properly vetted, it's the political scandal of the year. But Nick isn't the idealistic newspaperman he once was. Years of running the show have him walking the fine line between power and responsibility. Plus, the ambitious owner of the paper has her own reasons for wanting Henderson in the White House, and she's willing to kill the story to get him there. The facts should win out. But as pressure mounts from friends and enemies alike, Nick will be forced to choose between his career and the truth . . . "e;A fast-paced suspense story . . .
