If they think they've kidnapped some typical college kid who's going to demand a pillow and safe place, Mel is relishing the chance to prove them oh so very wrong.The first novel by the odd couple of James Patterson and former President Bill Clinton, The President is Missing, was completely unserious and yet completely entertaining.

Not so much.
Out there in those government buildings are deals to be made, grudges to be maintained, and in this emerging crisis, I know that some hard hearted souls will be seeing this as an opportunity for their own advancement, and nothing else.
