Forced Perspective

A photographer captures the truth. Washington will kill to bury it. Blake Maxwell has spent his career behind the lens, documenting other people's stories from a safe distance. That distance disappears the moment his camera catches something it was never supposed to see: the abduction of a man connected to the highest levels of power in Washington, D.C. Within hours, Blake's photographs become the most dangerous evidence in the city — and he becomes the only man who can expose the conspiracy behind them. Standing in his way is Senator Victor Kincaid: a predator who has spent decades disguising ambition as public service, and who now has one objective. Delete the photos. Delete the photographer. With his closest friends, Gideon and Malik, at his side and reporter Rachel Klein racing to keep the story alive, Blake is pulled into a fight far beyond anything he trained for — where every frame he's shot could be the one that gets him killed, and the only way out is through the man who wants him buried. FORCED PERSPECTIVE is a fast-moving political thriller for readers of Vince Flynn and David Baldacci — about the cost of seeing too much, and the courage it takes to make sure the truth doesn't disappear with you.
