Dying to be President

By Dan Michael

Presidential politics take a turn for the deadly in Dan Michael's riveting mystery thriller Dying to Be President . The sequel to Michael's suspenseful debut, An Overdose of Truth , this story of political intrigue introduces two candidates as they compete for their party's nomination for president of the United States. But just when it looks as though dark horse Marcus Barnes might defeat the confident Marilyn Hines for a shot at the presidency, he's found dead in his home. Although the cause of death is officially reported as a heart attack, Barnes's widow, Ashley Beth, is convinced her husband was poisoned-perhaps during his meeting with Hines earlier that day...a meeting that, unbeknownst to her, revealed a shocking secret that could have destroyed Barnes's political career. When Ashley Beth calls on investigative reporter Bart Dobbins to look into it, he teams up with homicide detective Lt. Trent, and the two set out to unravel a suspected cover-up that will take them on a wild journey into the beast of a corrupt political machine. Bart's investigation leads him deeper and deeper into a web of lies and deceit, where even his own high ethical standards can't keep him immune from a difficult moral conflict.
