State of Retribution: A First Family Novel

First Family Series, Book 9

By: Marie Force

Narrated by: Eva Kaminsky

A Baffling Series of Events Leads to An Unsettling Conclusion…

The First Family is hosting their first Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House when Secret Service agents mobilize to hustle them to safety. First Lady Samantha Cappuano wants to know where her children have been taken while President Nick Cappuano mobilizes his team to learn more about the threat that caused such a dramatic response.

Meanwhile, Sam’s homicide detectives at the Metropolitan Police Department are in the earliest stages of investigating three new murders of people struck down for no apparent reason as IT Lieutenant Archelotta cares for a new friend who was similarly attacked. One by one, the clues begin to add up to a disturbing conclusion that has Sam racing to put the pieces together before it’s too late. Adding to the chaos, she’s now accompanied by a much larger Secret Service detail.

As if that wasn’t enough for one week, a troubling incident from the past resurfaces and has Sam on defense, defending her career and reputation from a ruthless attack. An aura of retribution is in the air, but who’s behind it, and could the perpetrator be someone she—or Nick—have tangled with in the past?

Sam, Nick and the First Family cast face one vexing challenge after another, leading up to an explosive showdown that could change everything.

super fantastic!!

I absolutely love love this series! Nick and Sam are absolutely entertaining from the start to finish of every book! I always laugh out loud while reading.

These books get better and better!

There's nothing that I dislike about this series. I hate waiting 6 months to read the next one. or listen to it I should say.

Best series ever

I’ve been a fan of Sam and Nick from the very first book and have never missed one. This book is longer than most which made me very happy. The story never disappoints and the narrator has become all the characters I have come to know and love. Can’t wait for the next book!

Great as usual

I just love Sam and Nick. She keeps the story exciting and interesting. I also love all the characters that are in all her stories. Can’t wait for the next one!!!

This series is always a good listen/ read

I love Sam and Nick and all the other characters in this Fatal series / First Family world, this book was no exception.The only thing I hate is that now I have to wait for the next book again.
