Bestseller

Muir took leave from his White House post to write a biography of Roger Liversedge, the United States' first black Vice President. Muir didn't expect his book to sell particularly well, but then fate took a hand - President Henry Roberts suffered a fatal heart attack and Liversedge was sworn in as President. As Muir watched the helicopter arrive at the White House with the new President on board there was a huge flash - Liversedge had been assassinated, and within two hours Muir's biography was a bestseller!
