The Voting Machine: A Temo McCarthy Mystery

by Dmitri Ragano

It’s election season in Las Vegas and someone is murdering voters. Two local activists from opposite ends of the left-wing/right-wing extreme are killed inside electronic voting machines. They die from a rare poison that enters their bloodstream just as they are set to cast ballots in a crucial Nevada Senate race. Temo McCarthy is summoned by the FBI to assist their investigation. He knows the murder victims through his work as a campaign volunteer in a bitterly contested voter registration drive. As the case unfolds, the FBI links the killings to a broader terrorist attack on the general election. Temo realizes that he alone holds the key to finding a ruthless and brilliant killer who is determined to sabotage the vote and provoke a national crisis. "Dmitri Ragano is a creative, unconventional author who knows how to tell a story that other people aren't telling. He takes the hooks of the mystery/thriller genre and fills it in with ambitious themes and compelling original characters. Prepare to be intrigued and entertained!" -- Seth Harwood, author of Young Junius and Jack Wakes Up.
