As coronavirus rages through South Dakota, a newspaper editor blasts the Republican governor's hands-off approach while forming an ethically dubious alliance with a Democratic mayor. When the editor's son joins a potential state champion football team and militia members attack the mayor's policies, the editor is caught in the crossfire, exploring how far he can go before his own freedom is in doubt. THE COVID CHRONICLES, a debut novel by award-winning journalist Stu Whitney, examines political partisanship and pandemic fatigue, probing the question of whether America returning to normal is as appealing as it seems.
