An up-and-coming politician. D.C. secrets. Will those in power succeed in silencing him forever? When Anthony Schumacher decided to run for the congressional seat of the retiring Representative Theodore Milhous Johnson, his meteoric rise through the political ranks was all but assured—he was a young, articulate lawyer with a beautiful wife and family. Nothing could stop him from one day becoming President. But when he uncovers some of D.C.'s darkest secrets, he soon finds himself in the crosshairs of the most powerful people in Washington. And they will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe. Faced with sex scandals and assassination attempts, whether Schumacher survives depends on whether he can expose those who are trying to kill him before it's too late. Thunder in the Capital is the first book in the Capital Series thriller novels. If you like pulse-pounding action, political intrigue, and on-the-edge thrillers, then you'll love Rob Shumaker's first book in the series.
