Purple State - Alex Hutchinson - Bog

A respected political activist is murdered while investigating the 2000 Presidential election. A group of wealthy Florida activists hire his college friend and now private investigator Edmund Morrissey to track down the murderer. Ed quickly discovers that his financiers have ulterior motives. Dragged back and forth by fervent partisans he fights the raging tides of propaganda with simple logic and ultimately withholds his decisions until all of the facts have been collected. The deeper he treads, the more of a target he becomes. Each conspiracy slinging character deposits some grain of truth in the sub-conscience of the only man who could piece together the boldest electoral crime in American history.
