This is a political thriller that will strike a chord with readers, especially in today’s dark world of politics. Andrew Kane is an idealistic governor for the state of Vermont, he has plenty of ideas on upsetting the status quo and getting things done the right way until his brother is frames for murder. Andrew can save Tyler, make the whole thing go away, he just has to follow the blackmailer’s demands and compromise everything he believes in. Hoping this is a one shoe deal, he goes along with the plan, but as everyone knows, once a blackmailer is successful, there’s no reason for him to stop. How far will Andrew go to save his family and what will he lose along the way. Dark and satisfying. I’d like to think that maybe some of our real life elected officials are being blackmailed – it might explain some of their otherwise inexplicable behavior
