Description
THE WAR ON WOMEN JUST GOT PERSONAL
What would you do when you're on public display and your actions speak louder than your words?
Clay Vale lost everything when his wife died after a desperate, back-alley abortion -- an avoidable tragedy born of politics and hypocrisy. Now, consumed by grief and fury, he's ready to turn the tables on the powerful men who preach "family values" while living by a different set of rules.
His target: Brad Davenport, the pious, outspoken lieutenant governor of Texas, and his daughter, Irena. What begins as a shocking act of revenge soon spirals into a national spectacle -- an abduction streamed online, a young woman trapped in a nightmare, and a family dynasty forced into the harsh glare of its own double standards.
As the police race against time to crack the case, the lines between justice, vengeance, and exploitation blur. In a country tearing itself apart over the right to choose, one man's crusade threatens to drag everyone -- innocent and guilty alike -- into the fire.
Edgy, unflinching, and impossible to put down, An American Spectacle is a dark, razor-sharp thriller that rips away the mask of morality to ask the one question no politician wants to answer: What would you do when the rules apply to your own family?
"Caige's shocking novel spotlights the devastating effects of overturning Roe v. Wade. Raw, ruthless, and unsettling. Comparable titles: Dolen Perkins-Valdez's Take My Hand (Editors' Pick, Amazon Best Books of the Year) and Jennifer Haigh's Mercy Street (Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, The New Yorker, and The Boston Globe)."
-- BookLife Reviews/Publishers Weekly
"An American Spectacle is compelling, deftly crafted, and a simply riveting work that reflects the growing violence in contemporary American politics and policies over abortion, contraception, reproductive rights, and the attacks on a woman's sovereignty over her own body. A fascinating and riveting read from start to finish. Unreservedly recommended."
-- Midwest Book Review (MBR)
