The Long Game: A Fixer Novel [Paperback]

The Kendricks help make the problems of the Washington elite disappear. . . . but some secrets won't stay buried.

Tess Kendrick, a junior at the elite Hardwicke Academy in Washington D.C., can fix just about any problem her classmates-or their power-wielding parents-might have. After all, this sort of thing runs in the family. But she's happy to be using her skills on the odd class election these days, together with the help of her friends at Hardwicke.

Then a terrorist attack strikes in the heart of the capital, followed by an attempt on the President's life, and Tess soon finds herself investigating a plot that may hit closer to home than she ever could have imagined. Can she piece it all together in time before anyone else gets hurt?
