Cuinn's findings are published in a local magazine. But the article eventually becomes fodder in the gubernatorial race between Democratic upstart Bob Braeswood and Republican favorite Sam Eben Payne V, the great-great-grandson of the Texas hero. Braeswood is intent on exploiting the past, while Payne will do anything to suppress it. In the ensuing battle, Donnie finds his beliefs, not to mention his relationships, stretched to the limit in the first novel of the Donnie Ray Cuinn series.

My review:-
 A great and original book with a well crafted plot. Readersvwill find themselves swept along Donnie's journey as the book covers his discovery and the rivalry between Bob Braeswood and Sam Eben .
I liked the captivating storyline and how as we read the book we contemplate whether all that our media tells us is true or not. A great series perfect for any age. Watch out for my review if the next books in the series
