The President's Daughter

One Secret. One Target. One Deadly Game of Power and Revenge.

The President’s Daughter by Jack Higgins, published by Penguin in 1998, is a gripping international thriller packed with political intrigue, ruthless enemies, and high-stakes suspense. From the bestselling author of The Eagle Has Landed, this fast-paced novel delivers a masterclass in action and espionage.

Years ago, during a dangerous mission in wartime Paris, a young American pilot had a passionate affair with a French Resistance fighter—an affair that led to the birth of a child. Now, that pilot is the President of the United States. And his daughter, hidden from the world, has become the target of a deadly plot.

When radical terrorists uncover her identity, they seize the opportunity to strike at the heart of American power. Sean Dillon—a former IRA enforcer turned British government operative—is tasked with protecting her. But as global forces close in, even Dillon may not be able to prevent a tragedy that could shake the world.

The President’s Daughter is a taut, globe-trotting thriller where personal secrets have international consequences. Perfect for fans of Robert Ludlum, Frederick Forsyth, and political thrillers that combine action with intelligence and heart.
