Shall we tell the President ?

It is always a pleasure to read Jeffrey Archer .

I read this one last week , though I couldnt recall if I had read it earlier , but the fast paced thriller was completely entertaining .

Written in 1977 it is the third in the triology after Kane and Able and The Prodigal Daughter . It features Florentine Kane , the protagnist in The Prodigal Daughter as the first woman president of the United States , although u can directly jump to this one and still make sense of the plot

The story is inspired from a real incident where a plot to kill the president of the United States, Edward Kennedy, is foiled by an FBI agent working with the head of the FBI

The mark of a great storyteller is that although written three decades ago it still finds relevance , considering the fact that America is soon goin to vote and history may just be rewritten if Hillary Clinton becomes the first woman president of the United States .
