An obsessed reporter feuds with the New Mexico governor and her top adviser. Corruptus is an X-ray of politics, and also one man's quest for truth, revenge, and his lost dog. As his city (Santa Fe) and state burn, Matt White wants honest answers from public servants. Their lies become oppressive. Infuriating What is propaganda? What is corruption? Matt snaps. For asking questions his newspaper bosses consider uncouth, he is fired. The next day, his furry best friend disappears. When an old acquaintance hires Matt to finally ask important questions, to follow money and hold power accountable, Matt's story becomes a hellish descent through the state's haunted capitol, toward confronting the puppet master Alan Kripky, winner of campaigns and destroyer of enemies. Kripky is waiting, grinning, and loves to fight.
