Deep Background

After President Bob Hanover is shot dead at a White House Press conference by a gunman with no identity, Nick Addis, a presidential aide, is reluctantly drawn into an unofficial-and private-investigation of the assassination. In this off-the-books effort, he is joined by Clarence Dunne, the disgraced chief of White House security, and Julia Lancette, a CIA analyst at odds with the Agency. As the intrigue mounts-the First Lady and the Vice President are fiercely competing for their party's presidential nomination-Addis, Dunne and Lancette are confronted by faceless and ruthless enemies determined to stop them from uncovering long-hidden secrets.AUTHORBIO: David Corn is the Washington editor of The Nation magazine and has contributed articles to the Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and others.Corn frequently is a guest on television and radio talk shows including CNN, C-SPAN, MSNBC, and Fox News Cable.
