Cricket Callahan looks like an average American teenager. However, with the father of the sixteen year old girl being the President of the United States of America, the secret service agents try to make sure she does not act like one. Sometimes they fail to accomplish their intended goal. One particular time that she slips off their leash, she meets former Boston police officer J. W. Jackson. Although the secret service immediately catches up with her, she ducks out of sight. The agents give J. W. a hard time, but he quickly realizes who has been the recipient of a fishing lesson. ....... Cricket stows away in the back of his pick-up truck. She maneuvers herself into staying with J. W. and his spouse Zee for the few days left of her vacation and participate in some normal fun. Much to the surprise of J. W. the First Family and the secret service are nearby, but in spite of some strange occurrences, they do not make Cricket return home. J. W. learns that an attempt on Cricket's life is expected to be shortly made and since the agents fear a mole within their midst, they feel she is safer where she is. Anyone who knows J. W. realizes that he will not idly standby and allow harm to come to his beloved spouse or the innocent teen. ....... This novel is a fast, breezy read that features likable characters, especially a hero who emulates the positive o the point that readers are instantly involved with the story line. Although there is bit too much geographical description of the Martha's Vineyard area, Phillip R. Craig has scribed a tale that will appeal to all types of mystery readers. The precocious teen almost steals the show with her adolescent antics mixed with a sophisticated savvy. This is necessary read. ......Harriet Klausner
