Back Cover Blurb
Congressman Carter Whitaker is building a presidential campaign on fear, discipline, and the promise of protection. Journalist Sasha Klein discovers the truth behind the rise—an off‑books operation fueled by stolen cash, quiet violence, and a machine that doesn’t just win elections… it rewrites reality.
When Sasha pushes too close, the system doesn’t debate her. It contains her. A witness disappears. A confession is staged. A nation is distracted. And the closer Whitaker gets to the Oval Office, the more bodies the machine is willing to bury to keep its story intact.
CONTAINMENT is a dark, cinematic political thriller about power that survives exposure—and the people who refuse to look away.
