Teaser Tuesday~Executive Power

Today, Barack Obama was sworn in as our 44th president of the United States of America so I thought it fitting to select my two teaser lines from a political thriller I am reading, Vince Flynn's Executive Power. Executive Power is the 4th book in the series featuring the dangerous, no holds barred, CIA counterterrorism operative Mitch Rapp.

They would want to sweep it under the rug and have the offenders in question transferred to different jobs. That could not be allowed to happen this time, and Kennedy knew Rapp was the one man in Washington who would tell the president in the roughest and most graphic terms that heads needed to roll. (pg. 31)

Uh oh, there's a traitor in the house. I can't wait to see what happens when Mitch Rapp does find out. He recently married the love of his life and has been trying to get out of the field so he can focus on his relationship, have a few kids, and protect his wife from being targeted just because she's married to the man most wanted by the world's deadliest assassins. His wife has urged him to take on more of an administrative/strategist role and he's promised her he will do so. Something tells me he's not going to get settled into that desk job any time soon. Now, who do you think he wants to appease more, the president or his wife? LOL!
