Born to Run by John M. Green
"A spectacular political thriller... it kept me up nights" : PJ O'Rourke, international best-selling author
...Murder, Terror and Treason...
Isabel Diaz is set to be the first woman to win the White House.
But her chances plummet when a Muslim protege is accused of syphoning funds to terrorists and, seemingly unrelated, a young Australian software whizz is tossed off a London skyscraper.
Then, when a TV journalist digs up a dark secret from Isabel's past, her presidential hopes shatter.
With the public stunned, and only days before the vote, terrorists use the Australian's stolen software to launch a daring attack on New York City.
Isabel Diaz is born to run. But can she ever win?
