Private Investigator Eric Beckman hates politics. He doesn't even watch the news -- it's just sensationalized stories crafted to sell commercials. Why should he care? But that changes when a friend is shot in the head during a politically motivated break-in. Eric starts digging, and using his paranormal mind-reading skills, he soon discovers that Wilson Kingman, the presidential candidate behind the burglary, has some supernatural skills of his own. With one sweep of his mesmerizing gaze, he's able to secure the fanatical devotion of the thousands who attend his rallies--including the very people investigating him. Worse, Kingman's true motivations have nothing to do with leading the free world. With the clock ticking down toward election day, Beckman must overcome his aversion to politics and stop the wrong man from being elected. If he fails, millions will die. Democracy's Thief is a standalone book which may be enjoyed without reading any of the other books in the series.
