The Puppet Master

By Cristina Guarneri

Bennett Horton wasn't just some average politician, but the most powerful man in the nation's capital. His sharp wit and charismatic ability to pull strings from the shadows caught the attention of people around him. He was known for selling his soul for the top position in government and didn't hide it. In his reign in politics, people witnessed for the first time in the history of the United States, three politicians who has been murdered for no other reason than for being human lay face down on the cold concrete steps of Congress, its fourth assassination. There are no signs of struggle. There are no signs of dignity and respect. Just two dead bodies, and a small, stark white piece of paper with the names of some of the most prominent people in Washington, D.C.

From the busy city streets, one man, Andrew Mallin, knows who killed them and why. Still, the only way to divulge the secrets, he has to get away from being targeted himself by the most powerful Mafia families in the nation and the man that he has trusted since the beginning of his political career. Even though all eyes are on Andy, he has a plan. He has information that the FBI would love to know, and he would love to tell them. However, everything has a price- even for the man who was almost never made into the high-powered society of government. Andy harbors big secrets that some, even on Wall Street, would kill to conceal.
