Synopsis

EVERY CHAPTER ENDS IN MURDER – AND HE’S THE ONE BEING BLAMED.
Jonathan Scanlan never expected his provocative book on American politics to become a kill list. But when three high-profile liberal figures are murdered in the exact order he wrote their names, the mild-mannered professor becomes the face of a conspiracy he didn’t create.

As the country erupts and accusations mount, FBI Special Agent Carmen Costello uncovers a trail of deception leading straight to Jonathan’s doorstep—and beyond. The next victim is already marked, and the killer’s message is clear: someone is rewriting the political landscape, one execution at a time.

To clear Jonathan’s name and expose the truth, Carmen must untangle a deadly web of ambition, misdirection, and hidden enemies before the next assassination ignites a national crisis.

***

When three of America’s most outspoken liberals are executed within days of each other, it looks like political hatred finally boiled over. But the truth is far more calculated—and Jonathan Scanlan’s name is written all over it.
Mild-mannered English professor and author, Jonathan has just published Culprits of the American Culture, a scathing expose of high-profile progressive power players: a shock-jock radio host, a civil-rights firebrand, a billionaire megadonor, and a celebrity federal judge. When the first three are assassinated in the exact order they appear in his book, Jonathan goes from obscure academic to prime suspect—and the face of a supposed right-wing killing spree.
FBI Special Agent Carmen Costello is the first to notice the pattern. The next target on the page—and in the killer’s sights—is Judge Joseph Carlson of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, a man who loves the spotlight almost as much as he loves reshaping the Constitution. As the media erupts and politicians weaponize the deaths, Carmen and Jonathan are pulled into a deadly game of misdirection, where every clue could be a setup and every ally might have an agenda.
To stop a ruthless assassin—and a conspiracy that could redraw America’s political map—they’ll have to uncover who’s really “killing the liberals” before Jonathan’s name becomes the last chapter in his own book.
WHO’S KILLING THE LIBERALS is a fast-paced political conspiracy thriller, perfect for readers who love FBI procedurals, high-stakes suspense, and series heroes caught between truth, power, and spin. Book One in the Jonathan Scanlan Series.
