Ollie Paras, head chef at the White House has finally persuaded her mother to tell her the truth about her father's death. Unfortunately, Mrs. Paras doesn't know much other than the fact that he was murdered and the crime was never solved. Adding the fact that he was dishonorably discharged from the service, Ollie is filled with questions that she wants answered.
With the help of her boyfriend, Secret Service agent, Leonard Gavin, and his friends in high places, Ollie meanders into trouble on her own, trying to track down answers to who killed her father as well as how he managed a burial in Arlington with his record.
The story was crisp and clean drawing the reader into Ollie's emotions as she searched deeper into her father's life and death. Her frustrations became the reader's frustrations as we want more and more information as the story progressed.
Definitely the best of a great series - can't wait for the next one, but unfortunately we must.
