![]() ![]() ![]() Late at night, it was possible to imagine you were all alone in the world.Īnd now I smelled tobacco, a familiar brand.ĭon’t get your hopes up, I told myself. Our 7,000-square-foot lake house sat on four acres of property. The moon was full enough to light up the backyard. The motion light over the back porch should have kicked on, but the bulb was burnt out. Instead I opened the back door.Īs soon as I did, Champ raced across the lawn and tore off into the woods. I could hear the TV playing in our bedroom. ![]() I called to my wife: “I’m letting Champ out,” but she didn’t answer back. ![]() The nerve! Then, he notices something odd as he looks out of the window into the darkness beyond his office window and decides to check it out. And the idea of Barack Obama and Joe Biden teaming up to solve a mystery is irresistible, at least for me.īiden narrates, and the opening finds Joe in an irascible mood, obsessively watching videos of Barack having the time of his life and seething that his best friend hasn’t even called him once in the six months or so since they left office. Hope has been in short supply lately with all the terrible things happening in the world, so the title alone is a bit of a pick me up. I admit that when I saw this book was coming out, I was psyched. Part noir thriller and part bromance, Hope Never Dies by Andrew Shaffer is a high-stakes thriller that teams up Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama in a mystery worthy of Watson and Holmes-a cathartic read for anyone distressed by the current state of affairs. ![]()
