Fake News: A Novel

In the cutthroat world of Washington politics, ambitious young reporter Tomas Stein finds himself at the center of a deadly conspiracy when he uncovers connections between a decades-old disappearance and a rising presidential candidate's dark secrets.

Fresh from small-town journalism in Boise, Tomas lands a coveted position at DC-3's influential nightly program, "The Industry Tonight." When he stumbles upon evidence linking Congresswoman Marilyn Taylor-Brown—the Democratic frontrunner for president—to the mysterious disappearance of her former aide Jason Young decades earlier, Tomas believes he's found the story of a lifetime.

As Tomas investigates further, he discovers shocking DNA evidence suggesting Taylor-Brown had a secret child with Young before his disappearance. But powerful forces will stop at nothing to keep this information buried, and when Tomas's relationship with a campaign staffer puts him closer to the truth, dangerous players make their move.

In a city where media manipulation is an art form and political careers are built on carefully constructed facades, Tomas must navigate a treacherous landscape where truth is malleable and those who control the narrative control everything. When allies turn to enemies and bodies start piling up, Tomas realizes that in the game of "Fake News," the ultimate price for seeking the truth might be his own life.

A chilling exploration of media ethics, political corruption, and the dangerous pursuit of truth in an era of alternative facts, "Fake News" takes readers into the dark heart of Washington power politics.

If you enjoyed "House of Cards," "All the President's Men," and "State of Fear," you'll love "Fake News."
