A decade ago, fourteen-year-old Suzanne Lombard, the daughter of Benjamin Lombard—then a senator, now a powerful vice president running for the presidency—disappeared in the most sensational missing-person case in the nation’s history. Still unsolved, the mystery remains a national obsession.
For legendary hacker and marine Gibson Vaughn, the case is personal.
Fitzsimmons’ debut novel is full of twists and turns and no surprises it has gone on to become a bestseller.
The Short Drop
I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting on a long haul flight. It has the right ingredients – the right amount (moderate level) of complexity, interesting characters and political conspiracy.
“when else in human history could someone ascend bloodlessly to become the most powerful man in the world? It was the chance to be a civilized god.”
