The president-elect's daughter, Alli, is kidnapped two days before his inauguration. Jack McClure is asked to help investigate the kidnapping. Jack's daughter, Emma, went to boarding school with Alli. Emma was killed a year ago in a car crash. Jack tried to investigate the cause of the crash and was unable to determine the cause.
It is assumed that a religious faction - E-Two, the Second Enlightenment, is the group responsible for Alli's kidnapping. Jack investigates the clues and rescues Alli, but along the way he visits his past.

While this book was a good thriller, the religious aspect of the plot kinda took over the book. Also the jumping forward and backward between the present and Jack's past was hard to follow. I was disappointed by the ending and how the "bad guy" was caught. Although there is a good twist at the very end which the reader is able to figure out. DC is featured nicely and the local flavor is included in this book.
