  • "When tragedy strikes at his own wedding, a young President takes on America's gun lobby."@en
  • "Five months into his term, President Kilcannon and his fiancee, decided to marry. But the occasion is followed by a terrible tragedy: a massacre of innocents in a lethal burst of gunfire. It is a shattering event that consumes Kilcannon and his wife, challenging both their marriage and his presidency in such a personal way that Kilcannon vows to eradicate gun violence throughout the US. In a high-stakes game of politics and legal manoeuvring, where ideals collide in the Senate, the courtroom and across the country, President Kilcannon is determined to win at any cost."
  • "Richard North Patterson delivers another gripping legal thriller about the charismatic young Democratic President Kerry Kilcannon. Five months into his term, Kilcannon and his fiance, television journalist Lara Costello, decide at last to marry. When the wedding culminates in a tragic shooting, the President embarks upon a high-stakes battle with the gun lobby. When Kilcannon uses his clout to support a class action suit on behalf of gun victims, the gun industry attempts to use every political tactic in the book to bring him and the lawsuit down. Balance of power is a rare combination: a Washington insider's intellectually engaging analysis of contemporary politics that exposes the connections between gun carnage, political power, and greed -- and a compelling page-turner that brings the headlines to life."@en
