"Gripping, wholly credible, and frankly terrifying." -Ian Rankin

The Political Thriller of the Year Politics is war. And nobody survives a war with Rawson Griggs. For fans of Vince Flynn and Harlan Coben comes a riveting thriller torn from the headlines about an ordinary man caught in an extraordinary situation he cannot possibly fathom. When Remy Stanton, a young, ambitious corporate strategist, intervenes in an armed robbery one night, he saves two lives but is nearly killed in the process. And when he wakes up in the hospital, Remy learns that one of the intended victims was Alena Griggs, the daughter and sole heir of Rawson Griggs, a brilliant, brash billionaire - and one of the most powerful men in the world. Suddenly Remy finds that he has become an overnight celebrity - and he receives an offer he can't refuse. Rawson Griggs is about to announce an unprecedented run for President of the United States, and he offers Remy, the man who saved his beloved daughter's life, a position in his campaign. Suddenly Remy finds himself thrust into the maelstrom of the most controversial Presidential election in history, where buried secrets and stunning acts of violence rock the nation. And as his own star grows brighter, Remy finds himself drawn to the intelligent yet down-to-earth Alena, whose marriage is strained by the relentless pressures of fame and politics. Yet as the revolutionary Griggs movement builds steam, shocking events cause Remy to suspect a dark undercurrent running beneath Rawson's campaign. And when he discovers the full, disturbing truth, Remy will have to make a choice: stay the course, or jeopardize everything he cares about. And possibly lose his life in the process.
