How did former Chicago cop Jim McGill become the first private investigator to live in the White House? By marrying Patricia Darden Grant—the first woman elected U.S. President—shortly after solving the murder of her first husband.
Winning the presidency was one thing; figuring out what to do afterward was another. Rather than play the role of “First Gentleman,” McGill carved his own path, securing a private investigator’s license and embracing the unconventional title he gave himself: The President’s Henchman.
His first assignment? Tracking down the stalker of a White House press corps reporter. But when the President herself asks him to quietly advise a young Air Force investigator on a volatile adultery accusation against a Pentagon colonel, McGill realizes both cases could erupt into political firestorms.
Welcome to Washington, where power, politics, and danger collide.
