"Adroitly knits a tale of political intrigue ... Recommended for all fiction collections." --Library Journal "Rarely have I read a book that grabs you so fast in the opening scene (and, oh, how it grabs!), then keeps up the pace until the very last page. Goodbye sleep; hello First Daughter." --Jeffery Deaver, New York Times bestselling author of The Sleeping Doll and The Broken Window "A terrific story, swift-moving and thought-provoking, but told with a depth and tenderness that will last long after you have closed the final page." --Anne Perry, New York Times Bestselling author of At Some Disputed Barricade "Action, suspense and politics blended to perfection by a master." --Lee Child, New York Times bestselling author of the Jack Reacher series "I've long been a fan of Eric Van Lustbader, and he's at his heart-pounding best with First Daughter, a timely and frightening political thriller. If election year politics aren't already exciting enough for you, here are the chills you've been looking for." --Tess Gerritsen, New York Times bestselling author of The Keepsake "From the opening chapter, First Daughter smashes the sound barrier of psychological tension, action and suspense. The story hits Mach 5 and never slows down. I hope we see more of ATF agent Jack McClure. Outstanding!" --Douglas Preston, New York Times bestselling author of Blasphemy "A seductive, sophisticated, authentic thriller. Finely conceived--brilliantly executed. Eric Van Lustbader's legion of fans will be both pleased and enhanced by this terrific story, terrifically told, by a master who knows how to manipulate the reader in fiendishly exciting ways." --Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Venetian Betrayal
In this latest thriller by Lustbader (www.ericvanlustbader.com), author of the best-selling Jason Bourne series, the daughter of the U.S. President-elect is kidnapped, and special agent Jack McClure, whose own daughter died in an accident, suspects the kidnapper is an especially vicious serial killer. While the quest for the missing girl is exciting, the author's focus on religious extremism and its opponents muddies the plot, and the dialog is rather wooden. Still, the narration by Richard Ferrone (The Good Guy), who's read for authors including Mickey Spillane and Stuart Woods, secures his reputation as one of the best interpreters of thrillers. Recommended for popular collections. [Audio clip available through us.macmillan.com; the Forge hc, published in August, was a New York Times best seller.-Ed.]-Michael Adams, CUNY Graduate Ctr. Lib.
