THE PRESIDENT IS MISSING

(Century £20) ThIS is the perfect book for the beach: a big, fast-paced, twisty, engrossing thriller packed with spectacular detail of what it is really like to be President of the United States — hardly surprising, as Bill Clinton is the co-author.

The story is simple. The U.S. is under threat from a cyber virus that threatens to destroy the country’s infrastructure and reduce it to the dark Ages.

only one man can stop it — the President himself, who has to escape his security and go incognito to negotiate with the terrorists threatening his country.

An utterly compelling pageturner that never loses its grip.
