Enemies Domestic

Beschreibung

Enemies Domestic, Book Six in the Lark Chadwick Mystery series: On her first day as White House Press Secretary, Lark Chadwick is confronted on live television by a reporter with an agenda: "Are you, or are you not, planning to abort your unborn child?" His question puts Lark in the crosshairs of extremists on both sides of the highly fraught abortion issue. Ambivalent about becoming a single mother in the post-Roe era, and grieving the death of her boyfriend, Lark is now forced to make her abort-or-not-to-abort decision in a highly toxic, politicized, and polarized fishbowl. At stake: her sanity-and her life. In the political thriller Enemies Domestic, his most important and controversial book to date, former CNN editor John DeDakis dramatically and thoughtfully tackles the hot topics of abortion, QAnon, White Christian Nationalism, and mental illness at a time when America itself is teetering between democracy and authoritarianism. "The astonishing White House thriller Enemies Domestic rockets readers through the life-defining politics and crimes that will define all our lives for years to come. Author John DeDakis reveals that world with the authority and insight he learned and brought to us as a CNN journalist who's watched the thrilling moments he fictionalizes unfold in real life. Enemies Domestic is a vital contribution to the thriller literature of our times." -James Grady, author of Six Days of the Condor and 2024's The Smoke in Our Eyes
