Il primo romanzo dell'ex presidente degli USA con l'autore di thriller più venduto al mondo. I dettagli che solo un presidente conosce e la suspense che solo James Patterson sa creare per il thriller più avvincente e inaspettato degli ultimi anni. La Casa Bianca è la residenza del Presidente degli Stati Uniti, la persona più osservata, controllata e protetta del mondo. E allora come fa un Presidente a scomparire senza lasciare traccia? Ma, soprattutto, perché dovrebbe farlo? Nato dalla collaborazione senza precedenti tra il presidente Bill Clinton e lo scrittore più venduto al mondo, James Patterson, "Il presidente è scomparso" è una storia mozzafiato proveniente dalle altezze vertiginose del potere. Un romanzo che rende davvero l'idea di cosa voglia dire sedersi nello Studio Ovale - la pressione eccezionale, le decisioni lampo, le opportunità stimolanti, il potere che corrode -, che può essere definito come il thriller del decennio, che confronta le minacce più oscure che il mondo deve affrontare con gli interessi più alti possibili.

And they are fully prepared to take the law into their own hands, and will do
anything, absolutely anything, to get it back. Within days, Grace is racing
against the clock, following a murderous trail that leads him from the shady
antiques world of Brighton, across Europe, and all the way back to the New
York waterfront gang struggles of 1922, chasing a killer driven by the force
of one man's greed and another man's fury.
