Dark Horse

Dark Horse

It’s a bitter fight through the nominating conventions as Senate Majority Leader Salmon Stanley steals the Democratic nomination, and Robert Long, moderate governor of California, launches an independent bid for the White House. As the FBI and Justice Department probe into both candidates’ backgrounds, the Republican candidate appears to be coasting to victory—only to be murdered in a violent terrorist attack the morning after accepting the presidential nomination.


With the already unruly presidential race now thrown into chaos, the election is turned over to the House of Representatives, where voracious ambition and constitutional duty come head to head in a cliffhanger finish. All this takes place against the backdrop of the war on terrorism and a looming conflict with a newly nuclear Iran.

With the country on the eve of the 2008 elections, Dark Horse sizzles with authenticity and reads like a truer-thanfiction tale of political crisis. Filled with plot twists and rare insights into presidential politics, Dark Horse will be an immensely relevant thriller at a time when campaigns are already well underway and readers are struggling to keep up with each new development in the race for power.
