First Family

Sean King and Michelle Maxwell want nothing to do with the chaos that erupts at Camp David during a children's birthday party. A kidnapping transforms the presidential retreat into a security crisis, and the former Secret Service agents turned private investigators prefer to stay away. But the First Lady remembers how Sean once rescued her husband from political ruin when he was still a senator. She pulls Sean and Michelle into a frantic hunt for the missing child. Michelle struggles with personal battles while external forces surround them from every direction. Friends become enemies and allies reveal themselves as threats. The two investigators must navigate a web where trust becomes impossible and survival depends on distinguishing between those who help and those who destroy.
