The Double

Kay Whitner. Wife of a farmer. Mother of six kids. She's going about her business, minding her own business, when the Secret service arrives and informs her that computer facial recognition software has identified her as a match for the First Lady. She's upset that public security cameras are used by the government for such purposes. Then she scoffs at the idea that she could look like the President's wife...until they talk her into letting them to do a makeover on her. She's stunned to see the First Lady looking back at her from the mirror when they're done. She agrees to act as a double and attend occasional social events in the First Lady's place. While she finds it exciting, nothing remarkable happen...until terrorists storm a luncheon she's attending in Switzerland. She finds herself held hostage with three other women, and ordered to read a statement on video, to the President and America. After a daring escape, she and the other women are whisked to a nearby helicopter, which becomes damaged in a shoot-out with the terrorists. The helicopter crashes nearby and the military must find them before the terrorists do. Kay is a hero, but as a secret 'Double', she must remain an 'unsung hero'. This book is written in Ms. Gregersen's popluar light style, with humor threaded through the action. Enjoy this and other books by Susan Gregersen, available from Amazon.
