The President's Henchman is the first in the Jim McGill series by Joseph Flynn. The first few titles in this series were conventionally published before Flynn created his own Stray Dog Press, about which you can make your own decision as to whether it is self-pub or not. I have however, read and enjoyed almost all of the books in this series as well as some books in a spin-off series.

Henchman is free right now as the BN Readouts free weekend reading, and is also free at Kindle and Kobo US.

Spoiler:

Imagine the United States has elected its first female president. That would make her husband — what?

Well, if he's the ex-cop who solved the murder of the president's first husband and brought the killers to justice … and if he's not the kind of guy to stand on formality … and if he doesn't want to be the head of the FBI … and if he takes out a license and becomes the first private eye to live in the White House …

That would make him The President's Henchman.

Jim McGill's first case is to find out who is stalking a member of the White House press corps, before that stalker turns the tables on McGill and maybe even threatens the president herself. He's also called upon to be a shadow advisor to a young Air Force investigator who is looking into a he-said she-said charge of adultery leveled against a female colonel working at the Pentagon, a case with the potential to derail the new president's administration before it has a chance to begin.
