Synopsis:
The accidental president is no accident. The investigation that was FBI Agent Imogen Trager’s undoing may be the key to stopping a brutal, false flag terrorist attack meant to tighten a puppet president’s grip on power.
Emergency Powers will delight mystery and thriller fans (“Great for fans of Brad Meltzer, David Baldacci.” -Publishers Weekly) And politics junkies will enjoy the ripped-from-the-headlines urgency.

Overall, the power dynamics of these women...are something special.” (T. LIEBERMAN, Independent Book Review)
As the story begins, Imogen is haunted—and sidelined—by a case she couldn’t solve. When the president dies in office, she knows that the conspiracy she chased down a blind alley still has life in it—and she needs to get back in the hunt.

Imogen doesn’t trust him, and it’s not only because he’s offering intel that sounds too good to be true. He’s already tried to kill her once...
