He confessed. So what?
When a Democratic congressman dies in an apparent suicide, FBI Special Agent Nick Lynch knows the scene is too clean. Then a political consultant is gunned down in New Orleans. A senator dies in a scandalous ‘accident.’ A presidential candidate’s family is targeted. And a devastating attack on Democratic headquarters sends Washington into panic.
The crimes look scattered at first—different cities, different methods, different victims. But Nick sees the pattern before anyone wants to admit it: someone is coordinating a national campaign of political violence.
As Vice President Jenny McFadden is pulled into the crisis from the highest levels of power, the investigation turns toward a hidden network of militia leaders calling itself The Committee. Wealthy, disciplined, and built to survive exposure, the group has learned from the chaos left behind by The Influencer—and they are ready to push America toward something far worse.
Then one man confesses.
The government wants closure. The public wants reassurance. But Nick knows the confession is too convenient, too complete, and too clean. The man in custody may have admitted everything—but that does not mean the real enemy has been caught.
With the country edging toward Civil War II, Nick and Jenny must decide how far they are willing to go when the truth is politically inconvenient, the official story is a lie, and the people behind the violence are still in the room.
The Committee, the fifth installment in E.L. McKenzie’s Nick Lynch thriller series, is a fast-moving political crime thriller about power, deception, and the terrifying usefulness of a well-timed fall guy.
