Riassunto

On the eve of the Inauguration the losing candidate presents proof of the crime to his opponent, the incumbent President, and demands that he stand aside. The winner refuses and takes the oath of office, thereby setting in motion what may destroy him and his party, and even bring down the Constitution.From this crisis, master storyteller Charles McCarry, author of such classic thrillers as The Tears of Autumn and The Last Supper weaves a masterpiece of political intrigue. Shelley's Heart is so gripping in its realism and so striking in its foresight that McCarry's devoted readers may view this tale of love, murder, betrayal, and life-or-death struggles for the political soul of America as an act of prophecy.

"McCarry's novels are among the best of our time." --The Wall Street Journal

"The only real mystery that springs forth from my very enjoyable reading of Shelley's Heart and the rest of McCarry's oeuvre is why no movie has been made using these wonderful and finely crafted stories." The Morning News
