I Do Solemnly Swear

After only eight months on the job, President David Rodgers dies from an apparent heart
attack, and Katherine Ann Miles, Rodgers’s VP, becomes the first woman to occupy the Oval
Office. As she tries to calm a grieving nation and adjust to her new role, Katherine must also
contend with an unrelenting power struggle with Congress-the ultimate boys’ club. With Iran making grave threats against Israel, their troops positioned on the Israeli
border, poised to attack, the new president faces her first test in quelling the explosive
situation without resorting to major military options. Yet it seems danger lurks closer to
home: Clues emerge, suggesting President Rodgers’s death wasn’t so natural. And whoever wanted
him dead has Madam President in the crosshairs-and at close range. A traitor lies in wait as a widespread conspiracy infiltrates the highest level of
government in D.M. Annechino’s third novel, a bold, fast-paced political thriller.
