The Architects of Control: A Political Thriller (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798234035417)

IT ISN'T JUST COMING FOR YOUR JOB. IT'S COMING FOR YOUR VOTE.

"Smart, sobering political thriller of chicanery in the Maine woods."-BookLife (Publishers Weekly)

Somewhere in northern Maine, a town voted exactly the way someone wanted it to. They didn't rig the vote. They rigged the voters. And now it's being scaled for a presidential election.

When Deputy Robert Pures investigates a hit-and-run in the Allagash Woods, he finds five strangers hiding in a remote fishing camp-clean hands, collared shirts, no gear for the wilderness, and no English.

The trail leads to a solar installation that isn't producing power-it's consuming it.

As Election Day approaches, an unlikely alliance forms: a grieving deputy and his daughter, a Norwegian election observer, and a former intelligence analyst.

They have six weeks. No one will believe them. And someone is already trying to stop them.

The Architects of Control is a political thriller about democratic erosion, AI-driven manipulation, and the quiet courage of ordinary people who refuse to look away-set against the stark beauty of rural Maine, where everyone knows everyone, the woods keep secrets, and the votes were supposed to count.

For readers of S.A. Cosby, Louise Penny, and Mick Herron.

Bright lights. Long shadows.
