The Wingman by David Pepper

In The Wingman, veteran Midwestern reporter Jack Sharpe has made it big thanks to the deep-rooted voter-fraud conspiracy he uncovered in The People's House (the first of the series). Sharpe catches a whiff that something rotten is taking place in the Democratic Presidential primary, and ultimately discovers an elaborate scheme to put a corrupt and dangerous politician in the nation's highest office by any means necessary. Dark money, drone technology, paramilitary government contractors, neglected veterans, kompromat--we see these issues in the news every day. But in The Wingman David Pepper shows that if shadowy entities with enough incentive and resources were to connect and exploit these issues, the American people would be largely powerless to stop them. Jack must risk his life and reputation to get to the bottom of the story before the disturbing plot he and his team have uncovered becomes reality.

David is the Ohio Democratic Party's Chairman. He first ran for office in 2001, when he was elected to the Cincinnati City Council. He was elected to the Hamilton County Commission in 2006 and served until 2010. David graduated with a B.A. He earned his B.A. from Yale and his J.D. from Harvard.

Yale Law School, to be exact. In 1999, he interned at the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit for the Honorable Nathaniel Jones. He has also lectured at the University of Cincinnati College of Law on election and voting rights issues. David is a fifth-generation Cincinnatian, having been born and reared in the city.
