The Glass Key

A novel in which a hard-hitting and gripping “cool detective” plot frames a highly relevant, and still timely, story about election rigging, the fusion of power with crime, and widespread brazen corruption.

On the eve of an election in a small town, a nasty and scandalous incident occurs: the son of a US senator is killed.

Ned Beaumont, the right-hand man of the local politician, is forced to begin his own—unofficial—investigation. However, from the very first steps he realizes that in the town there will be no shortage of people who won’t spare either money or effort to ensure that the secret of this murder remains unsolved.
