Minutes after Vice President Nick Cappuano and Lt. Sam Holland get the call that President Nelson has been found dead in the residence on Thanksgiving, they’re still processing that Nick has been asked to come to the White House to take the oath of office. As they go through the motions to ensure a peaceful transition of power, Sam has a million and one concerns about her husband, her family, the Nelson family, the country, and the enormity of what Nick is about to take on.

Gerade haben Lieutenant Sam Holland und ihr Mann Nick Cappuano noch mit Freunden und Familie Thanksgiving gefeiert, da finden sie sich plötzlich auf dem Weg ins Weiße Haus wieder: Präsident Nelson ist unerwartet verstorben, und Nick muss als sein Vizepräsident und Nachfolger so schnell wie möglich den Amtseid ablegen.

Auch wenige Tage vor Weihnachten hat Lieutenant Sam Holland alle Hände voll zu tun, nicht nur mit den Festvorbereitungen im Weißen Haus, sondern auch mit ihrer Arbeit bei der Mordkommission der Hauptstadt. Eine allseits beliebte Ehefrau, Mutter und Geschäftsfrau ist auf grausame Art und Weise getötet worden, und Sam ist entschlossen, diesen rätselhaften Fall noch vor dem dringend benötigten Urlaub mit ihrer Familie zu lösen.

Eigentlich waren die Weihnachtstage als dringend benötigte Auszeit für die Familie von Lieutenant Sam Holland und ihrem Mann US-Präsident Nick Cappuano gedacht. Stattdessen sieht sich Sam mit einem Serienvergewaltiger konfrontiert, der die Frauen in ihrer Stadt bedroht.

Währenddessen bereitet sich Nick auf den bisher wichtigsten Moment in seiner Amtszeit als Präsident der Vereinigten Staaten vor.

This story picks up right where State of the Union left off with another wild ride for the First Couple as they navigate work, family, and an all new and extra baffling murder mystery that has Sam pushing the boundaries to get answers before a killer can strike again. Meanwhile, Nick contends with the aftermath of his landmark State of the Union address as a person from his past threatens to undo all the progress he’s made since assuming the presidency.

Die schönen Tage mit Familie und Freunden in Camp David sind noch nicht vorbei, als Lieutenant Sam Holland sich mit einem neuen schrecklichen Todesfall konfrontiert sieht – und diesmal ist es ganz persönlich. In einem Rennen gegen die Zeit arbeiten Sam und ihr Team unermüdlich daran, Antworten zu finden und weitere Tote zu verhindern. Doch je tiefer sie in den Fall eintauchen, desto mehr wird Sam klar, dass sie zum ersten Mal an ihre Grenzen stößt und etwas tun muss, was ihr zutiefst widerstrebt: andere um Hilfe bitten.

His mother has been arrested, his government is under new threat, the relentless media is driving him mad, and denial becomes the word of the day for President Nick Cappuano. Meanwhile, his wife, DC Metro Police Lt. Sam Holland Cappuano has caught a big new case with suspects everywhere she looks. Watch for her partner, Detective Freddie Cruz, to take center stage in this investigation when a variety of personal situations keep Sam off the job.

Sam and Nick are ready to get out of DC—and the White House—for a much-needed vacation to celebrate their second anniversary. Due to ongoing political pressures, they decide to scuttle their plans for a return to Bora Bora to stay closer to home at their favorite oceanfront house at Dewey Beach in Delaware. But before they can make their escape, Sam is summoned back to work to deal with yet another crisis in the ongoing investigation into former Lieutenant Stahl.

Just back from their anniversary trip to Dewey Beach, there’s no slow roll back to work for the first couple as Sam is immediately thrust into the baffling murder of her friend and colleague, U.S. Attorney Tom Forrester, which has everyone on edge. The FBI wants in on this one, and she’s determined to figure out what happened to Tom before they can take over her investigation as new and unsettling details arise about the crimes involving disgraced former Lieutenant Stahl.

Lieutenant Sam Holland has seen just about everything as a D.C. homicide detective, but she’s never been asked to lie to her closest colleagues and her husband—until now. With national security on the line, Sam makes a deal with the devil that quickly comes back to haunt her as she assists in a baffling case that leads right back to the Oval Office, where her husband is mourning the loss of his trusted aide, Navy Lieutenant Juan Rodriguez. For President Nick Cappuano, the betrayal cuts deep.

The First Family is hosting their first Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House when Secret Service agents mobilize to hustle them to safety. First Lady Samantha Cappuano wants to know where her children have been taken while President Nick Cappuano mobilizes his team to learn more about the threat that caused such a dramatic response.
