Summary
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Bringing together a
cast of fascinating characters in a riveting tale of ambition
and corruption, politics, passion, and ultimate justice,
Dangerous Games is a thrilling drama from Danielle Steel.
Television correspondent Alix Phillips dodges bullets and
breaks rules to bring the most important news to the
world—from riots in America to protests on the streets of
Tehran. With her daughter in college, and working alongside
cameraman Ben Chapman, a deeply private ex–Navy SEAL,
Alix revels in the risks and whirlwind pace of her work. But
her latest assignment puts her at the center of an explosive
story that will reshape many lives, including her own:
investigating damning allegations involving the Vice President
of the United States, Tony Clark. Alix begins with a nationally
revered woman who may be the key to exposing frightening
secrets. Olympia Foster is the fragile, reclusive widow of
America’s most admired senator, who had been destined for
the presidency before an assassin’s bullet felled him.
Since then, Olympia has found emotional support in Clark, who
once wanted her as his wife and now stands as her protector and
confidant. When Alix digs deeper, federal agents pick up the
trail. Then the threats start. As the stakes rise in this
dangerous game, Alix needs Ben’s help as never before.
And soon they realize they are grappling with an adversary far
more sinister than they had imagined.
