The 13th Vote

A Sci-Fi Crime Thriller

What you can’t see can destroy you.

Alyn Frederick Jr., wants an ordinary life. But Alyn is no ordinary person. Grandson to the first governor of the colony, Alyn unknowingly carries a dark secret that underpins its founding. But the cost of his ignorance is higher than Alyn can imagine - as he discovers when a detective draws him into the cross-hairs of a shadowy politician who will commit genocide to protect it. Alyn must discover the truth about his family’s legacy if he is to find justice and prevent a civil war.

And the key to it all, is his grandfather’s wristwatch.

The 13th Vote is a story of innocence lost and how we gain power over our lives through vigilance and wisdom. With echoes of The Da Vinci Code, The 13th Vote is part murder mystery and suspense thriller in an unforgettable exploration of what it takes to understand life’s bigger picture and face it with eyes wide open.
