Flipping the Circle: A Political Thriller

By: Leppert, Michael

Book Overview

"People don't often think of corruption or white-collar crap having an actual crime scene, but the Winner's Circle was the scene of this one."

Will O'Courtney is the ultimate insider. Having worked as an experienced contract lobbyist in Indianapolis for over a decade, he knows all the ins and outs of back-room deals and trading information. Shortly after his divorce is finalized, Will resolves to turn his life around, and just when he starts to think of leaving the winning course, he lands a contract with a national tobacco company that would change his life forever.

But when he discovers a scheme involving potential legislation for the monopoly of e-liquid tobacco products in the state, he finds out that malfeasance reaches the highest levels of government. Choosing to expose the seedy corruption behind closed doors in the Indiana Statehouse, Will becomes a whistleblower disguised as a lobbyist.

As he deals with suspect colleagues, wondering who he can and cannot trust, Will finds himself falling in love with a sprightly and spiritual young woman, who ultimately leads him to see and uncover the deep cracks along the Winner's Circle and leave it for good.

Set against the backdrop of contemporary events, Michael Leppert's intelligent and chilling thriller will leave you wanting more.

Michael lives in a historic neighborhood in downtown Indianapolis with his wife, Amy Levander, and their rescue dog, Birdie. Flipping the Circle is his debut novel.
