Dark Motive Craig Rainey

Carson Brand is hired by a congressional candidate to work in his election campaign. As he gets deeper inside the organization, Brand learns that there is a side to the political process that the voters never see. Brand uncovers questionable tactics, shady operatives, and self-serving donors with agendas of their own. Brand's involvement threatens their plan to rule the country, targeting him for elimination.




Set within the backdrop of demonstrator protests, campaign rallies, and closed-door donor events, Dark Motive is an action thriller that dares to step outside of the accepted belief that the government is for the people and by the people. The story is an action-packed tale of intrigue and deception where self-serving politicians and powerful, rich donors have manipulate the levers of power.




In this second novel in the Carson Brand series, Brand uncovers and exposes the secret workings of our political system. The empty promises and the smiling faces of candidates, the positive spin the media presents us, and the true power brokers behind the scenes are all driven by the same Dark Motive - power and control.
