THE PRESIDENT’S SHADOW
There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I find those stories for a living.
To most, it looks like Beecher White has an ordinary job. A young staffer with the National Archives in Washington, D.C., he’s responsible for safekeeping the government’s most important documents . . . and, sometimes, its most closely held secrets.
But there are a powerful few who know his other role. Beecher is a member of the Culper Ring, a 200-year-old secret society founded by George Washington and charged with protecting the Presidency.Now the current occupant of the White House needs the Culper Ring’s help. The alarming discovery of the buried arm has the President’s team in a rightful panic. Who buried the arm? How did they get past White House security? And most important: What’s the message hidden in the arm’s closed fist? Indeed, the puzzle inside has a clear intended recipient, and it isn’t the President. It’s Beecher, himself.
Beecher’s investigation will take him back to one of our country’s greatest secrets and point him toward the long, carefully hidden truth about the most shocking history of all: family history.
REVIEW:
This is the third in the Beecher White series and the first thriller for Meltzer in over two years and I missed them.
Meltzer is interesting in the way he writes. He adds so much realism into his stories. The secrets he unearths are so fascinating. He is so known for the background being real and the interesting that he has had shows on these subjects. Decoded and Lost History are both interesting shows in case you haven’t seen them. Anyway…
If you enjoy fictional stories wrapped around facts you need to check out Brad Meltzer. This is set in the White House and Beecher may have a history with what he is uncovering. If you have not read a Meltzer book yet please try one because once you start you will not stop. If you have read him before you will love being back in his world of thrilling investigations.
