Executive Actions by Gary Grossman

An assassin takes aim at a Presidential candidate during a primary stump speech. The instant he pulls the trigger, the outcome of the election is irrevocably changed. But Democrat Teddy Lodge, an upcoming media sweetheart, isn’t killed. His wife is. As a result, Lodge emerges as the man to beat and the greatest threat to the incumbent President, Morgan Taylor.

Under a specific directive from the President, Special Service Agent Scott Roarke devles into the case and begins to unravel a deadly plot that incubated for more than 30 years; designed to alter America’s allegiances in the Middle East. From the very first page, Executive Actions culls events from today’s headlines intersecting with a scenario that’s shockingly real: An insidious plot hatched in the old days of the Soviet Union continues to grow to fruition in the hands of a power hungry Middle East heir to the throne.

At its core, a sleeper is awakened to take a prominent role in American Life. Executive Actions is a tense “political reality thriller;” an election year page-turner, where both the Presidency and the Constitution are at stake. (Diversion Books e-book $2.99)

EXECUTIVE ACTIONS is available from Amazon and Diversion Books.
