Synopsis

In this pulse pounding political thriller, Jackson Lowery, a college professor and former D.C. prosecutor, is on the run and wanted for murder. He is accused of killing his student, Amy Duncan, daughter of presidential hopeful and Senator Rex Duncan, just days after beginning a secret relationship with her. Jackson becomes entangled in a deadly cover-up and an elaborate web of lies by a highly organized, deeply connected white supremacist group set on creating a society in which ethnic and racial cleansing run rampant. As Jackson learns more about why Amy was killed and who is behind the plan, it is soon clear that it is up to him and a few unlikely allies to identify Amy’s killers and expose the plot which led to her death. If they fail, a million kids will die. In the midst of this unrelenting life or death struggle and facing his own self doubts, Jackson and his team prepare for the final showdown with those who could destroy America.

Biographie de l'auteur

Kevin P. Chavous is a noted attorney, author, and national education reform leader. Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, Mr. Chavous spent most of his professional career practicing law and engaged in public service in Washington, D.C. As a former member of the Council of the District of Columbia and its education committee chair, Mr. Chavous was at the forefront of promoting change within the District public school system and helped to shepherd the charter school movement and school choice into the nation's capital and around the country. A prolific writer and much sought after speaker, Mr. Chavous' opinion editorials have appeared in most major newspapers and he has given speeches on the topic of education in nearly every state. Former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels calls Mr. Chavous “the most effective advocate for children in America”. Mr. Chavous is also an accomplished author, having published three books of nonfiction: Serving Our Children: Charter Schools and the Reform of American Public Education, Voices of Determination: Children that Defy the Odds, and Building A Learning Culture in America. Mr. Chavous loves reading political thrillers and was inspired to write The Plan in response to the increased prominence of the white nationalist movement during the last presidential election. Just before he began writing this book, he discovered that his great-great-grandfather's name was Jackson Lowery. He decided to give The Plan's main character his ancestor's name. Mr. Chavous is currently working on book two of the Jackson Lowery trilogy.
