Bernie Sanders and his Gen Z intern are drawn into a murder investigation in a small Vermont town in this hilarious spin on cozy mysteries from the New York Times bestselling author of Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery

When the Senate breaks for fall recess, Bernie Sanders returns to Vermont for a weekend of public events in Eagle Creek, a small town recently crowned "America's #1 Leaf Peeping Destination." It's up to congressional intern-and Eagle Creek native-Crash Robertson to keep the senator on schedule.

Unfortunately, Crash can't go back to her old hometown without running into some skeletons from her past. Some are more literal than others…such as the drowned banker she finds floating in Lake Champlain. What looks like an accident is soon revealed to be a heinous murder.

Bernie takes an interest in the case because of the victim's ties to Big Maple, the corporate agribusiness bent on monopolizing the Vermont maple syrup industry. The faster Crash helps Bernie unravel the mystery, the quicker they can return to glad-handing constituents. If they don't get back on track, it'll be her political future in the obituaries next.
