Kerry Kilcannon is a senator from New Jersey, the younger brother of a murdered presidential aspirant. Now Kerry, too, is seeking the presidency.
But unknown to him, he is being stalked by Sean Burke, an anti-abortion fanatic intent on killing him before election day. And Nate Cutler, a political reporter for a national newsmagazine, is trying to establish that two years before - while still married - Kilcannon had an affair with Lara Costello, another reporter covering Kilcannon, which resulted in an abortion.
This book weaves past and present, raises questions about abortion politics, the gun culture in America, and the degree to which the press is - or should be - intent on exposing the private lives of political leaders.
