Following The Inner Circle and The Fifth Assassin, #1 bestselling author Brad Meltzer returns with . . . THE PRESIDENT'S SHADOW To most, it looks like Beecher White has an ordinary job. A young staffer with the National Archives in Washington, D.C., he's responsible for safekeeping the government's most important documents...and, sometimes, its most closely held secrets. But there are a powerful few who know his other role. Beecher is a member of the Culper Ring, a 200-year-old secret society founded by George Washington and charged with protecting the Presidency. Now, the current Commander in Chief needs the Culper Ring's help. The alarming discovery of an arm buried on the grounds of the White House has the President's team in a rightful panic. Who buried the arm? How did they get past White House security? And most importantly: What's the message hidden in the arm's closed fist? Indeed, the puzzle inside has a clearly intended recipient, and it isn't the President. It's Beecher himself. Beecher's investigation will take him back to one of our country's greatest secrets and point him toward the long, carefully hidden truth about the most shocking history of all: that of the family. This advanced preview features an excerpt from Brad Meltzer's highly anticipated new novel The President's Shadow, coming June 16th, 2015. Also featured is Meltzer and renowned artist/designer Chip Kidd's retelling of a tale from Detective Comics #27 (the first appearance of Batman), taken from the spectacular graphic novel, Batman: A Celebration of 75 Years.
