Emergency Powers

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 has a ripped-from-the-headlines urgency: a fractious FBI, an undermined Attorney General, powerful people twisting and abusing the rule of law. But, it's more than headlines about things people think they know. And, darker.
When the president dies in office, Imogen knows that the conspiracy she chased down a blind alley still has life in it-and she needs to get back in the hunt. As bodies pile up and leads go cold, the main target from that old case reaches out to her. He's still at large, and now he needs protection. 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.
Well written and seamlessly crafted, Emergency Powers is a wonderful discovery, a tense, timely, thriller with canny political insight. But, it's the three tough female characters, who steal the show and will stay with you.
