Turnover carries readers to the not-so-distant past to replay the 2012 US presidential election cycle using real events, headlines, and data as the backdrop for a political thriller that will keep you thinking long after you've finished reading it. If you like House of Cards, Scandal, or Madame Secretary, you'll love Turnover and it's sequel, TurnAround.
The story consists of two plot threads woven together to tell one story about power, corruption, ambition, and greed. On one side, from the ambitious vice president to the IRS scandal, Benghazi, and beyond, various political forces with a stake in the election will stop at nothing to achieve their goals-even if it means courting and bribing the largest electronic voting firm in the country. How many secrets will they have to keep, and how far will they go to keep them?
On the other side, investigators from the National Investigations Service, private contractor to the Office of Personnel Management, catch wind of the impending election fraud. But the firm has its own interests that will be affected by the outcome of the election, and its agents' lives are imperiled by the secrets they uncover.
Shockingly similar to real-life events, Turnover will leave you wondering what really happened behind the scenes of the 2012 election, and more importantly, will raise your concern about every vote you cast from now on.
