CHIEFS is the sequel to FALL FROM GRACE (ASIN: B00AUKSBF6).
During beleaguered President Cameron Archer's State of the Union Address, four stealth cruise missiles destroy the Capitol Building. Secretary of State Sarah Lander, in London to finalize a trade deal, is nearly assassinated in a coordinated attack. Another cabinet secretary, absent from the State of the Union Address to accommodate the Law of Presidential Succession, suffers a suspicious, fatal heart attack.
Investment banker and part-time FBI and CIA consultant Tom West, in London on business, stumbles on and thwarts a second attempt on Lander's life. There begins an odyssey that sees West and Lander, who knew each other years earlier in college, battle multiple attempts to usher them into the next world.
At home, the United States plunges into a Constitutional crisis whose resolution is the shocking end to this intense tale.
Another thriller where most of the top leaders of the US government are wiped out. The person who should assume office has to go on the run and fight her (note that) way back to Washington to assume her rightful place.
