In the high-stakes, high-pressure world of presidential
politics, where predators carry microphones and one misstep
can savage a lifetime of achievement, Kerry Kilcannon is
the rarest player of all. Kilcannon believes he can make
the system work. And he just may die trying.
Driven by the violent nightmare of his childhood, fueled by
forces that few could understand, and burdened by secrets
no one must know, Kilcannon is running for President--and
entering the crucial battleground of California with seven
days to go. But for Kilcannon, there are hurdles that his
courage, charisma, and compassion may not overcome: the
network correspondent he still loves; the reporter bent on
their exposure; the rival who'll do anything to win; and
the fanatic who believes that he must murder Kilcannon to
protect the right to life.
