The First Family: A Novel

The President’s teenage son is threatened by a potentially fatal illness rooted in dark secrets from a long-buried past.

The White House is not an easy place to grow up, so when Cam Hilliard, the president’s sixteen-year-old son, experiences fatigue, moodiness, and an uncharacteristic violent outburst, doctors are quick to dismiss his troubles as teen angst. But Secret Service agent Karen Ray is convinced there’s something more to Cam’s issues—something serious enough to summon her physician ex-husband for a second opinion.

Dr. Lee Blackwood must make a diagnosis from an array of symptoms he’s never seen before. His only clue is a young patient named Susie Banks, who seems to be suffering from the same baffling condition—and who was just hospitalized after an attempted murder. As Lee and Karen race to save Cam’s life, they begin to uncover betrayals that breach the highest levels of national security.

Returning to the Washington, DC setting of The First Patient, The First Family is a riveting medical drama from acclaimed novelist Daniel Palmer, in the tradition of his late father, New York Times–bestselling novelist Michael Palmer.
