Barton Oliver lives with a terrible secret. He's in the witness protection program. People will kill him to find the $100 million his father stole from the mob. And, through a series of misfortunes, Oliver just became the President of the United States.The country's future hinges on what could be the last presidential election as two mercenaries – one a disgraced ex-special ops soldier on a quest of personal revenge, the other a battle-scarred Russian seeking her faceless assassins – fight their way across the globe to stop a terrible weapon that will fling the economy back to the Stone Age. They find the unlikeliest of allies – a young U.S. Marshal who can't shoot straight. She must choose between protecting the president she loves – and saving the country.“Easy Squeezy” is the second thriller by Pulitzer finalist and veteran investigative reporter Paul D'Ambrosio. He draws from economic turmoil and political conflagration to craft a fast-paced, international novel that is not far from today's harsh realities. Fans of his debut thriller, Cold Rolled Dead, will see the return of psychologist Sister Maris Stella – complete with cigarettes, her Jersey “attitude,” and uncanny insight. The Jersey Shore, too, proves a powerful setting for the stark opening and stunning ending of “Easy Squeezy.”
