About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Virginia did the unexpected; she embraced me and our lips met. She lingered for a minute and slid away. Her kiss woke desire and passion and something else. My mind was overwhelmed with a longing for permanence and a family. I couldn't discern which emotion was stronger; perhaps they were both one and the same.

Virginia woke me from a stupor. "Just don't get use to it," she said.

Was Chester Northgate, a promising third-party presidential candidate, assassinated because of the threat he posed to Washington's power brokers? Or was he simply collateral damage in an even bigger conspiracy?

Matt Gorman, a college professor and Air National Guard fighter pilot, is implicated in Northgate's murder. In a quest to clear his name, he forms an uneasy alliance with the beautiful Virginia, daughter of the man he supposedly killed.

While pursued by government agents and mysterious conspirators, Matt and Virginia follow a trail that will take them from Alaska to Key West and to one of the root causes of the Gulf War. The Third-Party Candidate is a mesmerizing and suspenseful tale where nothing is certain and everyone is suspect.

Deftly constructed at 220 pages, The Third Party Candidate: Code of the Elite is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Action & Adventure category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, The Third Party Candidate meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $10.95.

Additionally, The Third Party Candidate can be ordered by retailers or wholesalers for the maximum trade discount price set by the author in quantities of ten or more from the Outskirts Press wholesale online bookstore at www.outskirtspress.com/buybooks
