Tuxedo Park

As Seen in the New York Post A young prosecutor is confronted with his buried past as he tries to unravel a murder and stop a dangerous sociopath from ascending to the presidency.Lawyer John Palmer is awoken by an early morning phone call summoning him to a crime scene unfolding in New York's storied Tuxedo Park, involving his old summer flame, Susan Sterling. The pair had taken very different paths since their carefree teenage days: Susan reveled in the jet-set world of fashion modeling, whereas John charted a decidedly less glamorous course prosecuting bad guys in the Manhattan District Attorney's Office. Yet their worlds collide again after Susan goes missing on an evening run in Tuxedo Park. John is asked to moonlight on the case with his old mentor, Don Haggerty. As the trail of evidence eventually leads to president-elect Kent Dawson, John is in a race against time, trying to stop a cold-blooded sociopath before he takes the nation's highest office. To succeed, he must overcome bureaucratic obstruction, political henchmen, and his own guilt over his and Susan's buried romantic past.
