First Daughter by Eric Van Lustbader

This is my first read of Van Lustbader, although I have been aware of his books for years. I figured it was time to give him a try. Very happy I did.

Jack McClure is dyslexic and sees the world in a totally different way than others. It makes him an outsider, but his skills make him one hell of an investigator. When the President-elect’s daughter, Alli, is kidnapped prior to the inauguration, Jack is called in to find her. Alli was Jack’s daughter’s roommate at a private school before she was killed in a car accident.

But there are hidden forces doing their best to thwart Jack. With no one to trust, Jack needs to trust himself and his unique skills to save the day.

Excellent story with multiple plotlines. It kept you guessing right until the end. This is the first in a series, one that I plan on revisiting.
