From debut author Peter Stone comes a heart-stopping, pulse-pounding
political thriller that's perfect for fans of Ally Carter and House of
Cards.
When recent high school graduate Cameron Carter lands an internship with
Congressman Billy Beck in Washington, DC, he thinks it is his ticket out
of small town captivity. What he lacks in connections and Beltway polish
he makes up in smarts, and he soon finds a friend and mentor in fellow
staffer Ariel Lancaster.
That is, until she winds up dead.
As rumors and accusations about her death fly around Capitol Hill,
Cameron's low profile makes him the perfect candidate for an FBI
investigation that he wants no part of. Before he knows it--and with his
family's future at stake--he discovers DC's darkest secrets as he races
to expose a deadly conspiracy.
If it doesn't get him killed first.
