Description
Twenty-two years after the Second Constitution pacified the anger of the American people, Bill Waverly, the president's attorney, finds himself at the center of a crisis that threatens the president's job, her life, and the new people-centric government. Bill gets trapped into having to choose between protecting the president—the source of his power—and his deeply buried convictions.
While trying to get his old law professor, the fatherly George Comstock, the most influential living reframer, to help save the president, Bill doesn't see how conspiracies intertwined throughout the 2037 Second Constitutional Convention and the new Constitution's most perilous application in 2059, put his own life and the country as a whole at risk.

Advance Praise
“In The Blue Folio, Matt McMahon crafts a near-future political struggle so compelling and realistic that it’s easy to imagine it reflected on tomorrow’s front page.
McMahon’s novel skillfully paints a political future that feels both fantastic and achievable, with just the right balance between today’s headlines and ideas of how the world will look tomorrow. The struggle between those fighting for an ideal and others with mercenary pragmatism echoes the current gridlock in Congress and the ongoing struggle between the political poles.
McMahon’s writing is clear and crisp, with cutting dialogue and rich narrative.... its vivid political landscape, realistic characters, and engaging writing style will appeal to a wide range of readers.”
Foreword Clarion Review (4 Stars)
“Lively flashbacks and fiery personalities make this more than just a memorable exercise in ethics.
A political thriller for readers on both sides of the aisle.”
