Q and his new step-sister Angela travel to D.C. in this second installment to the thrilling I,Q series. In Book One: Independence Hall , we met Q and his stepsister, Angela. We met their rocker parents, Blaze and Roger; we met the Secret Service team protecting the family; and we met the main players of the Mossad team that is following them. Book Two takes us on another thrilling caper, this time to the White House where Q and Angela continue their quest to uncover the truth behind the supposed death of Angela's real mother—a former Secret Service agent—while trying to differentiate the "good guys" from the "bad guys."
