Always a good sport, Jim Mc Gill, the first private-eye to live in the White House, agrees to accompany his wife, the president, to London to be her escort at a dinner given by the queen-yes, the one who lives in Buckingham Palace.
With a French accent..
Fore Word Magazine called The President\'s Henchman "marvelously entertaining." Its sequel, The Hangman\'s Companion, is even more fun.
He just has to wrap up the case in time to get to dinner with the president and the queen.
Beats glad-handing the locals in nearby London, he decides.
The former cop\'s daughter asks Mc Gill to find the woman and save her father.
Only problem is, the blonde has disappeared.
The guy from Chicago claims he was only saving a blonde woman from being beaten by the Frenchman, as French law actually required him to do.
While tending to that solemn obligation, the former cop managed to get into a brawl with and kill France\'s national sports hero.
Mc Gill\'s former colleague went to Paris to scatter the ashes of his late, French-born wife in the Seine.
Then a client comes to Mc Gill, the daughter of a former Chicago cop Mc Gill knew but didn\'t like when he was a captain on the CPD.
Problem is, he\'ll have a week in England beforehand, while the president attends a G8 meeting, with nothing to do.
