Addie is brought back into her family's fold, but there are those in the president's political circle who find her timely return suspicious. Addie's childhood friend Darrow soon realises that Addie has come home with a mission...but will she choose to complete it

Reviews

This thriller doesn't let up its unrelenting pace until the breathless conclusion... The writing is complex enough to satisfy more sophisticated YA readers yet fast-paced enough to keep the attention of reluctant readers. VERDICT: Gangsei's killer political novel is a must-read for those who enjoy a tight plot in their psychological thrillers." - School Library Journal

"Gangsei's debut clearly benefits from her Washington, D.C. experience; although settings and time periods shift frequently, it's always easy to follow the swift-paced plot... There are refreshing multi-cultural elements... realistic instances of terrorism, and what feels like an insider's look at the White House." - Booklist

"The real draw is the gripping intrigue, elements of which remain unresolved at the end, so readers who enjoy an edge-of-the-seat read with a real-world feel and human complexities can happily anticipate future adventures for Addie and Darrow." - BCCB
