The Reluctant Candidate, A Jim McGill Novel [#15]

The Reluctant Candidate coverJim McGill comes to a turn of fate he never expected.

Faced with ongoing threats to his life because of his success in thwarting the kidnapping plot of his country’s brightest high-tech minds, McGill agrees to become a candidate for president and receive Secret Service protection.

Despite his self-doubts about rising to the job, his wife, former President Patricia Grant, says he will make a first-rate president. Having spent two terms in the office herself, McGill has no choice but to take her word for it.

Current President Jean Morrissey also thinks McGill is the most capable candidate to succeed her. Even a growing share of the American public likes the idea.

Having committed himself, McGill goes one step further. He recruits Rockelle Bullard, Washington, D.C.’s formidable mayor, to be his vice presidential running mate.

Any hostile troublemakers who go after the two of them will catch hell. Even so, making it to election day won’t come easy.
