When a single bullet misses its mark, it triggers a deadly chain reaction that threatens to expose the darkest secrets of a powerful political dynasty.
Governor Jeffrey Riley will stop at nothing to secure his re-election - and eliminate the man having an affair with his wife. Enter Broderick, a disgraced ex-marine turned hitman, tasked with a seemingly straightforward assignment. But when his bullet finds the Governor's wife instead of her lover, Broderick becomes the state's most wanted man - and the only person who knows too much.
Now hunted by law enforcement and the Governor's private security team, Broderick must uncover the truth behind his failed mission. As he delves deeper, he discovers the Governor's corruption extends far beyond his marital problems, and staying alive means exposing secrets that could destroy a political empire.
"The Governor's Wife" is a pulse-pounding political thriller that races from the corrupt halls of state government to rain-slicked streets, where one failed assassination reveals a conspiracy that could bring down an entire administration.
