When a couple starts investigating the First Gentleman for a book about his rumored past misdeeds, including a date rape in college and the disappearance of an ex-girlfriend, they quickly find that they may have bitten off more than they can chew.  As the bodies start to pile up, he goes on trial for murder, but the true killers may lie deeper within the White House than anyone imagined.

James Patterson and Bill Clinton return for their third collaboration, The First Gentleman.  This time, the focus is less on the president, who is trying to drum up support for historic legislation to reboot the government’s coffers, than her husband, who is being framed for crimes he did not commit.  We will probably never know how much (or little) Clinton contributes to these efforts, but I have yet to be disappointed by these collaborations.
