Running for congress is hard work for Madison Glenn. But she never expected it to be murder. Running the coastal city of Santa Rita. Campaigning for a congressional seat. Staying one step ahead of a high-powered corporate broker’s demands. Life couldn’t get more difficult for Mayor Maddy Glenn—or so she thinks. Enter three murders in three days. Rumors fly of a serial killer at large, and the press has a field day with Santa Rita’s embattled mayor. Especially when a strange pattern emerges: the victims were all fans of a radio talk show whose enigmatic host specializes in the weird and unusual. Coincidence or clue? For Maddy, the search for answers is about to become personal. Refusing to play it safe, Maddy is caught in a lethal game in which seconds count. But even her renowned grit and tenacity—and her emerging faith--may not be enough to prevent more brutal deaths. Including her own. Praise for Alton Gansky’s The Incumbent. “. . . will keep you guessing until the very end . . . most impressive is the character of mayor Maddy Glenn. . . I recommend The Incumbent to any lover of a good mystery.” —Tim LaHaye
