Milan is a teenager that just lost her father in a car accident that she survived. Her father was a US Senator, and her mother was recently elected to his seat. Milan has been getting bounced around to different boarding schools for behavior issues since her mother was elected. After her most recent expulsion, her mother arrives to pick her us in a private plane. But then it is brought down in the mountains in an act of sabotage. Her mother's final act is to give Milan some information that got both of her parents killed, and to instruct her to stay safe. Somebody out there is killing to keep this quiet.
This is a good survival/political thriller. I enjoyed it.
