“Stroh turns plot twists into a master class in deception…”
—Patricia Crisafulli, New York Times bestselling author
After learning of a plot that could kill millions, small-town sheriff Jacob Davidson intercepts an enigmatic briefcase—one of the plan’s lynchpins that puts him in the crosshairs of formidable D.C. fixer Tiffany Wright.
And while Wright and Davidson play their game of hide-and-seek with each other and a compromised federal task force, billionaire Sebastian Augustus Greene III pulls his strings from the very seat of democracy. Greene’s end game is to forever alter the geopolitical power structure in his own favor, no matter how many have to die.
But is our way of life really just a game of smoke and mirrors? Or can someone like Greene be stopped by those who are willing to sacrifice everything?
DEMOCRACY ALWAYS COMES WITH A COST.
More praise for Just A Shot Away:
"In his gripping debut novel, Just a Shot Away, Leigh Stroh weaves an intricate, character-rich, fast-paced story with the complexity of a spider's web-and just as ensnaring. From the deceivingly simple opening scene-a man in a big car, a heavy suitcase, two people approaching-the first characters are introduced, and we begin guessing who is on which side and why. Prepare to be wrong-and delightfully surprised. Stroh turns plot twists into a master class in deception as he portrays the corruptive power of unchecked authority and the heroic decency of those who stand for truth. This political thriller does not disappoint and beats with a heart that calls us all to be better than the sum of our fears."
