Journalist Tierra Campos and FBI Special Agent Victoria Larsen find themselves desperately battling to save their careers and their lives from forces looking to destroy them in the third book of multiple award-winning political thriller author Mikael Carlson's high-octane contemporary fiction series.
Six months after the events in Devious Measures, both women are moving on with their lives…or so they thought.

With the clock ticking to November, Tierra and Victoria must fight to survive the onslaught unleashed against them by dark forces bent on eliminating their Vital Targets.

Cancel culture has come for Tierra and Victoria. One targets a career. The other targets a life.
America is still reeling from the events that transpired during the New Hampshire Democratic Primary. With the immediate threat of election interference neutralized, spring turns to summer, and the nation awaits the nominating conventions, utterly unaware of the danger lurking in the long shadows.
A flamboyant and popular pundit moves against Tierra Campos, and she must realign with old friends to uncover the hidden truth behind her cancellation before her career is left in ruins. As Tierra struggles, Special Agent Victoria Larsen abandons her plans to leave the FBI when a team probing manipulation in the New Hampshire election approaches her with an offer. After a trio of shocking murders, she finds herself in the crosshairs of a deadly new enemy with one assignment: ensure that she isn’t alive to continue investigating.

Three Other Political Thriller Series that are "Politics As Unusual"
The political underdog story we desperately need.
Michael Bennit is a former Green Beret turned history teacher who strives to inspire his students. After losing a bet to one of his classes, he is forced to do something he never imagined: run for political office..
Michael is a man of integrity and courage navigating a world that sees little of either. He's the perfect exemplar of what we should all demand from our leaders, and with a likable group of young staffers and close allies, they are a group you will root for until the very end.
The world is going to hell. In 2088, it arrives.
Corporations rose to power after misguided policies and fiscal mismanagement led to a global economic collapse that brought the world to its knees. Order was restored, but the people lost every ounce of personal freedom to do it.
With characters both heroic and deeply flawed, the divergence in perception is what makes this saga so compelling – the journey will challenge your biases and your view of modern society. If freedom is something to be cherished, why don’t more people stand to fight for it?
The America, Inc. Saga will be a six-book set when completed.
The ability to see someone's memories is a gift. To Watchtower, it's a weapon.
Eugene "Boston" Hollinger discovered that he has a gift - a traumatic brain injury has left him with the ability to tap into people's minds and see their memories. For Boston, it's an inconvenience he must learn to live with until he realizes that he can use it to uncover a dangerous mole selling our national secrets to the highest bidder.
Boston is the closest thing to a real-life superhero that exists. Imagine what you would do if you could close your eyes and experience another person's most traumatic memories. What could you uncover? What will Boston find along his journey?
Nothing can destroy the spirit of Christmas. Don't tell that to politicians.
Politics is the ultimate divisive subject in the modern age. It destroys families and relationships. Can two people with different political ideologies ever find happiness together?
The Santa Trilogy is a planned three-novel set that will explore the true magic and meaning of Christmas. A political thriller meets a romance novel where readers find the answer to an age-old question: which is more powerful, love or politics?
If you're going through hell, you might as well dance through it.
Braden is a boring finance guy on the run from his ruthless employer. Lyla is an adventurous, free-spirited soul running from her own set of demons. Can these two find happiness together, or will their pasts rip them apart?
Enduring love is forged in fire, and these two are about to put that to the test. The trials and tribulations they face in The Dancing Life is only the beginning of their journey - one that will get more treacherous as the trilogy unfolds. Are they meant to be together, or are they the greatest set of star-crossed lovers since Romeo & Juliet?
The truth is only revealed when you pull back the blanket of lies.
Journalism in America is dead, but Tierra Campos is on a mission to reshape how news is presented. When a teenage gun control advocate is implicated in the school shooting that made him famous, she becomes a household name...and a target.
Tierra and Victoria are everything we want as modern heroines - intelligent, dedicated, confident, and honest. In a society where we see despicable behavior all around us, they bring with them a glimmer of hope that there are still good people out there.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2023I’ve become a huge fan of Tierra Campos, as well as Victoria FBI. Interwoven in this book is a story of political intrigue, as well as a complete and thorough uncovering of the “cancel culture”. I continue to be amazed at the wonderful writing craft shown by author, Carlson, and weaving her plots together in a completely entertaining and suspenseful manner.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2021So carefully crafted to portray real time political struggles, with the fictional characters I can't help but root for and some I'm still unsettled on. This complex plot pushes you to
question everything and to hone your personal truth detector. Because, once you know, you know.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021This has been a great series so far. Nonstop political intrigue. The reader is led down a path of continuous surprises, leaving the reader wanting more. If you like political mysteries this series is for. Never a dull moment.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022This series is as good as his other series!! Fast paced, no filler pages!!! Engaging characters and engrossing story line!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2022First time with this author . Impressed by his knowledge and background I found the political observation interesting as well as thought provoking.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2021Tierra and her best friend against take on impossible odds to find the truth and possibly get liked in the meantime. Don’t start this book late at night unles you don’t want sleep!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2021I enjoyed the book, but I wish it was truly non-partisan. One of the bad guy was a Progressive Democrat. In a previous books in this series the bad guys were gun control supporters. I might have enjoyed it more if the bad guys were not all Democrats.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2021Scenarios are realistic. After reading you, it's hard to want to read anyone else. I've read them all.The best yet.
