ERIC VAN LUSTBADER
First Daughter
(Tom Doherty, $25.95)

Eric Van Lustbader is the author of more than 25 international bestsellers, including The Testament, The Bourne Legacy and The Bourne Betrayal. "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," said author Jeffery Deaver. Jack McClure, a top ATF agent, receives a call from his old friend Edward Carson. Carson is just weeks from taking the reins as President of the United States when his daughter, Alli, is kidnapped. McClure's daughter, before her accidental death, was once Alli’s best friend, and Jack is the one man Carson can trust to go to any lengths to find his daughter. Faith, redemption, and political intrigue play off one another as McClure uses his unique abilities to journey into the twisted mind of a stone cold genius who is constantly one step ahead of him.
