Plot: Luther Witney planned his last job with his usual meticulous precision. A perfectionist, he is patient and precise, carefully avoiding any public acknowledgement of his skill. Silence is essential for Luther who is a master thief. Unfortunately, Luther couldn't have foreseen that the wife of the wealthy businessman would be at home that night. Or that she and her lover would fight and that she would be brutally murdered. Or that her lover would be the President of the United States. Now Luther is trapped in a deadly game of cat and mouse, hunted down by the most powerful man in the world - a man who will stop at nothing to protect his secret! In this slick political thriller, an emotionally disconnected, aesthetically refined master thief is out for one final score before retiring to his treasure-lined hideaway. But during a robbery at a mansion near Washington, he witnesses a bizarre sex murder involving the President of the United States. As the president's slimy handlers frantically cover the crime up, the career criminal--and only outside witness--becomes the Secret Service's prime target. His relationship with his estranged daughter hangs in the balance. Adapted from the best-selling novel by David Baldacci.
