Paranoid — Steven Axelrod

Tom Jaglom is the son of the President of the United States. He's rich and good looking. He's charming and smart. His present is idyllic; his future is unclouded.
Or so it seems.
But Tom is about to discover that his father is at the center of a deadly conspiracy. Suddenly, his life is in danger. And he can't go to the police because without proof they'll just think he's crazy. Somehow, without giving himself away, he must find the connections between the crash of Air Force One, a gangland slaying, a thirty-year old fixed basketball game and a police chief's deathbed confession.
His only allies … his girlfriend, Amy and a half-crazed Vietnam vet with a bad case of survivor guilt.
The struggle comes to a climax on Nantucket Island, during the Daffodil Day celebration, as Tom stakes everything on his final desperate plan. Is Tom actually crazy? Only Amy knows for sure, and in the final moments, in a quiet office in the eye of the storm of violence Tom has created she will hold the fate of the country in her hands.
From the board rooms where mobsters cut deals with politicians to the top security mental hospitals where radicals are “cured” of subversive tendencies; from the horror of a first king to the joys of a first romance, this is a novel about our modern
American devils and the deals we make with them. But more importantly, it's about the imperishable ties of love and family that hold us together and redeem out lives.
