Mystery

When political consultant Dev Conrad agreed to work with Congresswoman Susan Cooper, he didn’t know that the worst threat her re-election campaign would face would come from Cooper herself. The Congresswoman has a secret she’s not willing to share with Dev, forcing him to follow her the way a detective would. But the campaign is burdened with other problems as well, starting with the murder of scandal-plagued political consultant Monica Davies. Rumor is she had some information that would destroy Susan Cooper’s campaign. In the wake of another murder, another blackmailer, and two or three suspicious relationships, Dev rushes to decide who is trying to sabotage Cooper's campaign. Someone inside or somebody from their opponent’s camp?
