MARINE ONE by James W. Huston - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by James W. Huston.
The president rushes across the South Lawn through a pounding
thunderstorm to Marine One to fly to Camp David late at night. His
advisers plead with him not to fly, but he insists. He has arranged a
meeting that only three people in his administration know about. After
fighting its way through the brutal thunderstorm on the way to Camp
David, Marine One crashes into a ravine in Maryland, killing all
aboard.
The government blames the European manufacturer of the
helicopter and accuses them of killing the president. Senate
Investigations and Justice Department accusations multiply as Mike
Nolan, a Marine Corps reserve helicopter pilot and trial attorney in
civilian life, is hired to defend the company from the criminal
investigations, then from a wrongful death lawsuit brought by the most
notorious lawyer in America on behalf of the First Lady. Nolan knows
that to prevail in the firestorm against his client, he has to find out
what really caused Marine One to crash, and why the president threw
caution aside to go to a meeting no one seems to know about. To clear
his client, Nolan must win the highest-profile trial of the last
hundred years with very little working for him, and everything working
against him.
Marine One expertly mixes political intrigue with courtroom drama and fast-paced action in the most exciting thriller of the year.
