What this book is about
While on a ski vacation in Utah, the president of the United States is kidnapped — and every Secret Service agent protecting him is killed, except one. Scot Harvath was off-duty when the attack happened, and he becomes the driving force behind the investigation and eventual rescue. The Lions of Lucerne is the first Scot Harvath novel — Brad Thor establishing his signature high-action political thriller series.
