During the strangest and wildest election in California history, one candidate for governor tries to kill his way to the top, figuring if money, power, and snake-oil charm wonβt get him elected, why not try murder? After all, being in charge of the eighth largest economy in the world is worth a little bloodshed, right?
Making matters worse, the culprit can hide among more than one hundred highly unusual candidatesβall of whom are now suspects. Toss in amateur assassins, a spicy hot reporter, and the Russian Mafiaβand thatβs where ex-P.I. John Black comes in. John's politically active sister has a shot at being elected the first female governor of California. When she becomes a primary target, John charges into the world of crime and politics in an attempt to save her.
