DEVIOUS MEASURES

Election year politics is an ugly game that gets dirtier with every election cycle. When the campaign of a colorful and rising candidate is targeted with intimidation, arson, and cyberattacks, attention immediately turns to his opponent in the primaries as the instigator: Senator Alicia Standish.

Drawn to inconsistencies in the suicide of a political mega-donor a month earlier, FBI Special Agent Victoria Larsen finds herself trapped in a quagmire of internal politics. With no other place to turn for help as the state turns into a political battlefield, she enlists of journalist Tierra Campos and her colleagues at Front Burner to track down a series of leads that could provide answers to what’s happening. Little does she know that Tierra has problems of her own.

Since unraveling the conspiracy behind the Brockhampton massacre, Tierra has become a superstar in journalism circles. Her imminent departure from the online news organization Front Burner is causing a growing rift between her and her editor that has become impossible to bridge. Forced to operate outside of their normal channels, Tierra and Victoria must enlist their friends to help put all the pieces together to catch the conspirators manipulating America’s first primary. As assumptions lead to conclusions, they must make a bold move before the first ballots get cast, and the presidential race is altered forever.

In the turbulent wakes of uncertain career trajectories, the two women put their futures on the line in an attempt to foil one of the most dastardly plots in American political history. The race is on to uncover the truth, and the stakes couldn’t be higher: fail, and the people could lose all confidence in the electoral process. As the clock winds down before New Hampshire goes to the polls, will the conspiracy unravel, or will the nation succumb to the mastermind’s Devious Measures?
