Craig, Philip R.

Sixteen-year-old Cricket Callahan, the daughter of the president of the United States, moves in with retired cop J.W. Jackson and his wife after a threat is made on her life while vacationing at Martha's Vineyard.

Ex-Boston cop J.W. Jackson, enjoying a Vineyard summer with his wife and children, falls under suspicion when rabid environmentalist Henry Highsmith--a man J.W. has clashed with in the past--is found murdered in a golf course sandtrap, and an SUV matching the description of Jackson's vehicle runs Highsmith's bicyclist wife off the road.
