Back Cover Blurb

Some crimes are too big to punish. They can only be contained.

Andrew Whitaker is the perfect candidate—until you see the balance sheet. With his campaign collapsing and the primaries closing fast, he signs off on a plan no one will say out loud: precision bank heists designed to refill his war chest without leaving fingerprints. The hits are clean. The money is immediate. The country feels… relieved.

Then Sasha Klein notices the timing. The same week Whitaker’s cash drought ends, the robberies begin. Her reporting draws the attention of Special Agent Ellen Rourke, who discovers the Bureau isn’t hunting the crew—it’s containing the fallout. Stability, at any cost.

Now a fixer named Olivia Crane is rewriting records, reputations, and bodies to keep Whitaker’s rise intact—and to make anyone who threatens the story disappear.

From donor salons in D.C. to the fluorescent backrooms where policy becomes pressure, CONTAINMENT is a chilling political thriller about how power keeps the lights on—and who gets ground up in the machinery.

Logline
