Former Secret Service agent Sam Kilbrough stands only feet from the main stage as the president approaches, a 9mm Glock G43 is carefully tucked inside his sky blue Gore-Tex windbreaker. When he expertly withdraws it and shoots the man he was once sworn to protect, it sparks the trial of the century: against sitting vice president Elijah Styles. Was the assassin a trojan horse sent by Styles to kill President Magnus Thorne and propel him into the White House, or a lone wolf with a warped sense of patriotism? Did Thorne stage the spectacle to evoke sympathy, justifying troops on American streets and his war on dissent? Were Styles and Kilbrough lovers?
The jury (and the reader!) must solve a mystery fit for the Washington Post or the National Enquirer in our Trumpian times in a thriller that exposes the cultural petri dish of an “Us” versus “Them” society, diving behind the scenes to lay bare the human impulses driving our nation’s justice system and its politics. $2.99 on Kindle.
