Description
A twisty, one-step-ahead-of-the-headlines political thriller featuring a rogue reporter who investigates election meddling of epic proportions written by the ultimate insider.
Investigative reporter Jack Sharpe is down to his last chance. Fired from his high-profile gig with a national news channel, his only lead is a phone full of messages from a grad student named Tori Justice, who swears she's observed an impossible result in a local election. Sharpe is sure she's mistaken...but what if she isn't?
Sharpe learns that the most important tool in any election is the voter file: the database that keeps track of all voters in a district, and shapes a campaign's game plan for victory. If one person were to gain control of an entire party's voter file, they could manipulate the outcome of virtually every election in America. Sharpe discovers this has happened--and that the person behind the hack is determined to turn American politics upside down.
The more he digs, the more Sharpe is forced to question the values--and viability--of the country he loves and a president he admired. And soon it becomes clear that not just his career is in jeopardy...so is his life.
Advance Praise
“Pepper comes through again with this clever tale of how cyber sabotage of elections, coupled with highly concentrated ownership of traditional media operations, can undermine American democracy.” —President Bill Clinton
“Pepper has done it again. Read this book before November 2020 and you will understand what could happen
to our democracy. Let’s hope the fiction in The Voter File doesn’t become reality.” —Senator Bill Bradley
"[A] highly plausible political thriller....Enjoyable, timely, and realistic." —Kirkus Reviews
"Believable, evocative, and shiver-inducing. As timely as tomorrow’s headline, written by a man who knows exactly what he’s talking about. It’s also as unpredictable as a riptide, bringing what is a clear and present threat to modern democracy into pristine focus. Read, and be warned." —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author
“Drawing on his insider experience, David Pepper takes us into the dark underbelly of American elections—
how campaigns use psychological warfare to target voters to the edge of the law, and beyond.” —Alex Berenson, New York Times bestselling author of The Faithful Spy
PRAISE FOR DAVID PEPPER
“[The] sleeper for political thriller of the year.” —Wall Street Journal
“The thriller that predicted the Russia scandal." —Politico Magazine
“Pepper expertly takes the country right to the edge of the precipice...in this political thriller par excellence.” —Providence Journal
"Much like author John Grisham did for law firms, Pepper pulls back the curtain on how local political races really work." —Cincinnati Enquirer
