Desc: The seventh book in the Tom Clancy's Op-Center series.
Shadowy elements within the State Department secretly cause tensions to flare between Iran and the former Soviet republic of Azerbaijan. They hope to start a shooting war to increase their own power and profit.
At the same time, the conspirators decide to up the ante - by deposing the president of the United States. In a treacherous scheme, they convince the president that he is mentally unstable, and a silent coup d'état is within their reach.
Now, Paul Hood and the members of Op-Center must race against the clock to prevent the outbreak of war, save the honor of the president - and expose the traitors.

When it comes to giving advice on divorce issues and impounded pets, 13-year-old Theodore Boone is first choice with his teachers and classmates. Theo knows more about the law than most lawyers.

That is, until a witness tells Theo he saw things the day of the murder that could bust the case wide open. The only problem is, he’s too scared to talk – Theo is the only person he’ll trust. With the trial about to be lost for lack of evidence, and a witness who won’t take the stand, suddenly Theo finds himself caught in the middle of his – and the town’s – biggest case ever . . .
