Shifting Red

Fired from her position as a reporter and branded as a liar, Amy Carmichael Ward lands on President Martin Balfour’s re-election committee. Her job: opposition research to find the faults and failings of the two dozen challengers.

Yet the President expects more. A lot more. Pulled from her behind-the-scenes research, Amy is thrust into the open, and expected to devise new campaign strategies. Devious campaign strategies. Ones that can overcome the damage done by the deeply flawed character of the reigning President Balfour. His flaws? The country is in distress, but he ignores the issues plaguing it. He demonizes people. He alienates voters. That’s why the President is trailing in the polls. And he’s a lecher. The man even hits on Amy.

In spite of it all, the President is convinced that his re-election is guaranteed.

Desperately needing to hold onto her job, Amy won’t challenge the man. So he pressures her for more. And more. She feeds the President the most vile ideas she can conjure. And he rewards her for it. Repeatedly. Lured by greed, influence, and ego, Amy swiftly descends into the political swamp. And succumbs to the demands of the President, who will stop at nothing to win the election.

Yet when she discovers a conspiracy to steal the election, Amy sheds the grip of corruption. And digs deeper. Amy finds something fouler than any of her vile ideas. It’s dark. It’s evil. It’s deadly. And the number of victims is staggering!

But Amy’s covert investigation does not go unnoticed. Secretive enemies stalk her. The people around her disappear. And die. That leaves her alone to face the disease that is slowly consuming the country. When the final pieces fall into place, Amy is stunned that the conspiracy is even bigger and darker and more disturbing than she imagined. And it’s unstoppable.

Trapped and surrounded, she fights for her life. Because Amy Carmichael Ward is the only person left who has a chance to expose this political treachery.
