The Candidate - Paperback

by Jack Quinn (Author)

Secret Service Agent JARED COUGHLIN is assigned to protect presidential candidate Senator Charles N. Robinson. When Jared inspects the senator's condo, he encounters three German-speaking burglars looking for a document. Jared kills one perpetrator, wounds another, but is shot by the third man. Lying on the floor close to death, Jared sees a picture frame with a 1939 photo of a youthful Robinson and Jared's mother. Jared is mystified that the FBI is not pursuing the murderers of the senator's driver, the attempt on his own life and the three German's more aggressively. Jared suspects that Robinson is hiding a colossal secret with international implications that will change their lives forever and that the incursion into the senator's home was a prelude to an attempt on the Senator's life.
