And a young Senator will uncover a conspiracy that threatens to upend the global balance of power.

The truth, however, is anything but that. The President's wife, Hillary Constable asks young senator Bobby Hart, who serves on the Senate Intelligence Committee, to find out who had her husband murdered and why. As Hart begins to learn more about the President's shady dealings, he uncovers a massive global criminal and financial conspiracy, headed by a secret underground organization nicknamed The Four Sisters. Yet the closer Hart gets to the truth, the more shocking secrets are revealed that could threaten his life, American Democracy, and the future of the nation. A riveting and controversial political thriller from acclaimed, bestselling Edgar nominee D.W. Buffa, Hillary is a novel that will appeal to fans of David Baldacci, Brad Meltzer, Brad Thor, and Vince Flynn.
Suspense is great, BUT....This is the same book as The Grand Master.

Great political thriller overall...but it's the same book as The Grand Master, published in 2010. Identified as the second in the Bobby Hart series (Hillary as the third in the series). I made the mistake of ordering because I love Buffa's work and when I saw The Grand Master was available, I didn't even bother reading the synopsis. So... Advice....Buy one or the other (Hillary is nicer since it's in hardcover.) It really is suspenseful and intriguing for political ideology. I just didn't like being fooled by publishers and shelling out for The Grand Master instead of using the money for an actual "original" Buff title!
