One man is determined to find out - as soon as he's had his breakfast. His name is Pond. Howie Pond – the President’s official spokesperson and wannabe secret agent. With just a love of James Bond films to guide him, Howie sets out on a mission to solve the missing-President mystery. But with his journalist girlfriend, Britt, soon onto the story, the race is on to see who gets to the truth first…
----- Amazon US #1 Best Seller in 'British Humor & Satire' and 'Political Humor' -----
This debut comedy-thriller novel from British writer Paul Mathews is packed with sharp humour, great characters, dynamic dialogue and a mystery that will keep you guessing from beginning to end.

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY
"If you like British humor and still love a good suspense story, that's the book you are looking for. I'd say it has a very 'Douglas Adams meets John Grisham in a pub' kind of plot."
"So much fun! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is well written, laugh out loud funny, and keeps you wanting more."
"Fantastic read! Two stories run parallel with each other until the final chapters. Great how the paths of the two characters intertwine. Part of a series so can't wait for the next one."
"We Have Lost the President is an hilarious, un-put-downable book that is guaranteed to have you gripped (and laughing!)"
"A brilliant, witty, debut novel from Paul Mathews...it's a great read and Paul's witty take on a future Britain will have you in stitches."
