In POTUS DOWN, a stand-alone sequel to the best-seller, FIRST SPOUSE OF THE UNITED STATES, President Nicholas Chamber-Jeffries is the embodiment of hope and change for the United States. A charismatic leader, a Naval Academy graduate, a former senator, and the first openly gay man elected president. But just as his family is leaving the Inauguration Viewing Stand, a gunshot shatters the air, and chaos erupts.
The president, with his arms, draped over his young adult children, crumples to the ground. Blood pools beside his head, and the Secret Service shouts into their radios, "POTUS DOWN!" The family is in shock, and the medical team rushes to the stricken president. But the shooter remains out in the open, unseen.
The government agencies, including the NSA, FBI, Secret Service, Washington Police, and CIA, cannot locate the assailant. Days turn into weeks, and the president’s family has no answers. Who is behind this conspiracy? Is it political foes? Why don’t the federal agencies have answers? Or do they have answers and are not sharing them? Is it global?
The family takes charge and ramps up its own clandestine investigation outside government agencies. What they soon uncover shakes them to their core.
As the search for the shooter deepens, the family discovers a web of deceit that threatens to destroy everything they hold dear. The conspiracy goes deeper than they ever imagined, and they soon realize that the fate of the country rests on their shoulders. Will they be able to unravel the truth before it’s too late, or will they become the next victims of a cover-up not unlike that of the John F. Kennedy assassination?
