Sinopsis

A novel of a privileged young man’s twisting, troubled journey through Depression-era America: “A great book by a great author.” —Los Angeles Daily News 
 
Jack Dillon has been a golden child since birth. Blessed with blond locks, glittering eyes, and a perfect voice, he is the most popular child singer in Baltimore. But when puberty robs him of his voice and the stock market wipes out his family fortune, Jack is forced to rebuild. Over the next fifteen years, Jack will see it all. From Maryland to California and back again, he will become a football star, a soldier, and a tramp. Despite all that life throws at him, he never loses his eye for beauty, or his hunger for a woman he has known since childhood. But to find happiness in the face of the Depression, Jack must learn that no matter how the world has changed him, part of his soul remains as pure as the first note he sang. 
 
“James M. Cain is one novelist who has something to teach just about any writer, and delight just about any reader.” —Anne Rice, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Interview with a Vampire

    What if every vote you cast, every political movement you believed in, every democratic choice you made was nothing more than calculated output from an algorithm designed to maintain the illusion of freedom? Investigative journalist Maya Lennox stumbles upon the truth behind PULSE—an AI-driven system so sophisticated it doesn't just predict elections, it orchestrates them. From manufactured candidates to engineered crises, from social media manipulation to the very fabric of political discourse, nothing is real. Everything is code. 
    As Maya delves deeper into the conspiracy, she discovers a shadowy network of power brokers led by the enigmatic Xander Cole, a mastermind who has perfected the art of democratic manipulation. From Swiss Alps boardrooms to Silicon Valley server farms, from Capitol Hill to digital underground resistance movements, the battle for humanity's free will reaches a breaking point. But in a world where reality itself is programmable, can truth still prevail? Or has democracy already been deleted from existence? 
    STEALING DEMOCRACY is a metafictional techno-political thriller that blurs the lines between narrative and reality, challenging listeners to question: In the age of AI and algorithmic control, was your choice ever truly yours? Narrated by Bradford Sinclair with a full voice cast featuring Adeline Harper, Samuel Cross, Grant Wyatt, and more.
