FIRST
DAUGHTER MYSTERIES
Book Two
SHARP FOCUS
St, Martin- a Thomas
Dunne Selection
It's
June, and the President is scheduled to give the commencement address at
the Air Force Academy. His daughter, Eve, the professional photographer
who is the intrepid heroine of this sparkling mystery, has agreed to take
her first glider ride with one of the young Air Force pilots. Eve's aircraft
makes a safe landing, but a short time later the glider she had been riding
in crashes into a mountain. Eve and her father must face the possibility
that what looks like a tragic accident may in fact be very deliberate and
deadly sabotage.
Eve's already nooselike
security is stepped up, and she's hustled aboard Air Force One to accompany
her father back to D.C. As Eve juggles her First Daughter duties with her
own need for a private life, she finds her personal safety increasingly
at risk and her bodyguards' task growing increasingly difficult. What seems
to be a harmless tire blowout turns out to be a sniper attack. Someone
important does not want the President's daughter to get to the bottom of
the Air Force Academy glider-crash mystery, and that someone is willing
to risk everything to stop Eve cold. As she travels back and forth across
the country trying to unmask a heartless killer, Eve's own life is very
much on the line, as are those of her aunt Patsy and Buck, Aunt Patsy's
new beau.
What reviewers
are saying:
Former first daughter
Ford and co-author Hayden nicely blend action, suspense, humor and a little
romance in their second collaboration
--Publishers
Weekly
The tale
is an amateur sleuth cozy rather than a deep political thriller, but Eve
is a delightful protagonist...fans who enjoy a cozy with an intriguing
lead protagonist will want to read the latest collaboration between Ms.
Ford and Laura Hayden.
