Peter is in a situation where he must either tell his boss all the information he gets from his close acquaintance Rose, or take the risk of losing his place in the White House. Peter has worked extremely hard for his spot in the White House but has to decide what he ultimately believes in. He ends up risking his job which turns out to be the correct decision as he finds the mole in White House to be his boss. He then fights through all of the people sent to discredit him through his father's past. In the end we learn that rules may not always be in place for the right reasons.

"Maybe there's some way to be honest with yourself and them. But don't take the rules into your own hands."
From Peter's Uncle

"You do the right thing and follow the rules, Greg said. And then one day you start to wonder if those are two different things."
From Peter's Uncle

"Let's say, to get the job done, you had to do it in a way your bosses may not like?"

"What if you had to choose between keeping your word to someone and doing what your bosses tell you?"

Welcome aboard Peter, I'm glad you're done lying to yourself."
From Peter's Boss

"Your father was good. They never would have caught him, except he had a conscience. He was a bad traitor, because he couldn't convince himself he was a hero."
From Peter's Boss

"I always knew you were a treacherous mother****** under-neath it all.  Maybe that's why I thought we could work together."
From Peter's Boss

This was a sin like his father's only a thousand times worse: an election stolen, a democracy subverted, a puppet on the throne. They had bought the White House and paid in blood. This was his chance, at last, to atone."

"If he didn't act, more people would die. The men and women behind the murders would go unpunished, would profit from the killings.

"He knew the truth. His father had betrayed his country. He'd broken the same oath Peter had sworn, to protect and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic."

"Get the truth out- it sounded so simple, so right, but was it naive to think it would be that easy?"

"That's it. You step out of line and you're done." From Peter's Boss

# data[].attributes.body
"He had been weighing this decision for hours. Time was up. He would have to lie break his word to Rose, or directly refuse to obey his superior."

# data[].attributes.body
"He'd been so careful for so many years, doing everything right following every rule."

# data[].attributes.body
"Honesty would save him. The truth would save him. And that had brought him here: a hunted man, to all the world a traitor just like his father."

# data[].attributes.body
"He had spent his whole life thinking that if he just played by the rules he'd be okay."

# data[].attributes.body
"But when he played everything perfectly by the book, people assumed that it was some kind of cover, some way for him to worm his way back into the heart of the FBI like his father had, like a cancer."

# data[].attributes.body
"With all the scrutiny on him because of his dad, he couldn't afford to make a single mistake."

I think the theme statement of my book was the decision to choose between  following the rules, and doing what you believe is right. Sometimes those two are the same thing, while other times that line can be blurred.
