Enemy Within The Gates — Richard Allen

THE PASSION FOR POWER IS A SLEEPING BEAST, AWAITING THE MOMENT IT CAN RISE UP AND RULE ITS HOST.A covert military mission threatens the aspirations of political newcomer, Katherine Karlson, and her run for the presidency. She devises a plan to scuttle the mission, thereby guaranteeing her the election but destroying any chance for peace in the Middle East. Her daughter witnesses the deception and pleads with her mother to undo the treasonous act, threatening to expose the truth if she refuses. Karlson is forced to choose between the highest office in the land and her only child, which also means silencing everyone who bore witness to the crime.The most deadly adversary is the one you don't see coming, the one you trust, the one standing beside you already within the gates.
