DEAD HEAT

The Lit-Crit Take:
A genre-bending, character-driven, word-burning
literary thriller about politics, love and the haunting pain of
memory.

The Pure Plot
Pitch:
I didn’t know—or care—much about
the tight race for governor of New York until someone took a shot
at one of the candidates and killed his wife instead. The main
suspect, it turns out, was an anti-government crazy (and a devoted
quilter—yes, you heard that right) who once did time with me. So
suddenly I’m trying to track him down, getting sucked into the
panicky heart of a closely fought election campaign, into an affair
with a troubled political operative, and into the dangerously
surreal world of people who prefer casting their vote with a
sniper’s bullet.
