Darrell Nelson is a Midwest-born writer based in Los Angeles. His work focuses on power, institutional control, and the cost of telling the truth. He writes character-first political thrillers with cinematic pacing and screen adaptation in mind.
His debut novel, CONTAINMENT, is complete and currently querying agents. Additional projects—including a sequel and screen concepts—are in development.
CONTAINMENT
A broke presidential candidate bankrolls his rise through precision bank heists—until a relentless reporter and an FBI agent discover the Bureau would rather contain the truth than stop it.
An investigative journalist uncovers a presidential campaign secretly financed by a string of bank robberies—and becomes the target of a federal containment operation. From donor salons in D.C. to the fluorescent backrooms where policy becomes pressure, CONTAINMENT is a chilling political thriller about how power keeps the lights on—and who gets ground up in the machinery.
