Will the people elect the status quo?

Or is a major presidential upset in the wind?

The election is days away and tensions are running high. The armed takeover of a remote Oregon wildlife refuge takes center stage in the news, and candidate Bradley Graham goes to meet with the protesters . . . against advice. When Graham is kidnapped, Lynch Cully, the urban ex-detective, finds himself in unfamiliar territory. Can he hold his own where there are no streets, no city lights, no backup?

Meanwhile, life takes an unexpected turn for Amy Gibbs, RN, and her fiancé Richard Nichols. Working in Washington, D.C., he is offered the real estate deal of a lifetime . . . if he ignores the suicide that took place in the house. Or was it? Still in St. Louis, Amy's curiosity foils a major terrorist plot, saving thousands of lives . . . except one.
