商品描述内容简介The first presidential election of the twenty-first century, bitterly contested by two men who are implacable political rivals but lifelong personal friends, is stolen through computer fraud. On the eve of the Inauguration the losing candidate presents proof of the crime to his opponent, the incumbent President, and demands that he stand aside. The winner refuses and takes the oath of office, thereby setting in motion what may destroy him and his party, and even bring down the Constitution.
From this crisis, master storyteller Charles McCarry, author of such classic thrillers asThe Tears of AutumnandThe Last Supperweaves a masterpiece of political intrigue.Shelley¹s Heartis so gripping in its realism and so striking in its foresight that McCarry¹s devoted readers may view this tale of love, murder, betrayal, and life-or-death struggles for the political soul of America as an act of prophecy.媒体推荐Praise for Charles McCarry:
