Jake does all that, but also has the clout of being able to say that the President wants results when he runs into a witness who doesnt want to cooperate, plus the White House travel office to fly him around the country. Its a nice niche in the genre, a step more nuanced than the well-developed theme of the private eye who can get away with stuff that the cops arent supposed to do, like breaking into someones house without a warrant or withholding evidence from government investigators. In this case, sorting out the political and criminal ramifications of an ex-Senator gone missing in a presidential election year. He does the jobs they want to be able to deny they had anything to do with. Similar to the way that Davenport did special favors for the Governor of Minnesota, Jake works for the President and his Chief of Staff. Jacob Winter is Sandfords new character and if you like Lucas Davenport from the Prey series, youll probably like Jake. Im a big fan of John Sanford for two main reasonsthe characters and the snappy dialogue.
