Tomorrow's most explosive thriller, today Natasha Winthrop is a rising star in American politics, strongly tipped as a future candidate for president. One night she is violently assaulted in her home by an intruder. She defends herself and minutes later, the intruder lies dead. Winthrop is hailed as a #MeToo heroine: the woman who fought back. But inconsistencies emerge in Winthrop's story, suggesting that the attack might not have been as random as it first seemed. When former White House trouble shooter Maggie Costello is drafted in to investigate, she finds intriguing gaps, especially over Winthrop's early life. She likes this woman, who she believes could - and should - be president. But she can't shake off the question: who exactly is Natasha Winthrop?||About the Author: Sam Bourne is the pseudonym of Jonathan Freedland, an award-winning journalist and broadcaster.
