Custos: Enemies Domestic

CUSTOS: ENEMIES DOMESTIC — mystery with dashes of humor, suspense, romance, economics, philosophy, history, and politics; appeals to an Ian Fleming/Vince Flynn/Jeffery Deaver audience

When an eminent young elected official mysteriously dies, an anonymous source claims credit for the death and makes a singular demand — or else. Two charismatic federal agents — Zach and Barb — doggedly investigate the compelling antagonist behind the crime.
Other elected officials ultimately discount the demand — and pay the price. As more bodies pile up, Zach and Barb close in — amidst sparkling exchanges and sexual tension. They match wits with a complicated character who always stays a step ahead of the investigation. Their admiration of their nemesis slowly grows for many reasons.
The assassin remains enigmatic until the end.
