A Simple Choice reads like a straight-out-of-headlines account of a conspiracy. David Pepper brings deep-rooted authenticity, with his insider knowledge of the heart of American politics.
Amity Jones, an army veteran, and Palmer Knight, a tv news correspondent, cross paths in the most unexpected ways when a respected senator jumps off a cliff for unknown reasons. Unsubstantiated rumors fly off with fingers pointing at nations with grudges against the United States of America. Both protagonists have stakes in investigating the senator’s death, especially when they’re caught in the crosshairs of a meticulously crafted and profound deep state that ensnares powerful individuals in the government with a simple choice.
David Pepper keeps the reader engaged with crisp chapters that alternate frequently between different POVs to keep the momentum running on seemingly different subplots that wonderfully entangle down the line. While there is no traditional action in this thriller, the political conspiracy that may very well be playing out in the shadows this very moment works much better with a focus on investigative and deductive narrative. Pepper gives a genuine insight into the current socioeconomic climate while introducing an intriguing mystery with fascinating and timely bits of technological warfare for the WOW factor.
If you’re looking for a brainy thriller with a dangerously plausible plot and lifelike characters, A Simple Choice is a fantastic summer pick.
