The Washington Decree

In this gripping stand-alone novel from the bestselling author of the Department Q series, America descends into chaos under President Bruce Jansen, who adopts increasingly dictatorial measures to combat gun violence following a personal tragedy. The story weaves together the lives of five individuals—teenager Doggie Rogers, sheriff T. Perkins, single mother Rosalie Lee, journalist John Bugatti, and young Wesley Barefoot—who share a past connected to Jansen's rise to power. As the country fractures and civil unrest erupts, each character faces harrowing challenges that threaten not only their rights but also the bonds that once united them, especially for Doggie, who must confront the possibility that her father is innocent of a grave crime.
