The community demands justice, and the spotlight turns to the mayor—a man determined to clean up the streets and restore hope. But behind the scenes, a ruthless government official with ties to South Florida’s criminal underworld will stop at nothing to hijack the election… even if it means kidnapping the mayor’s family.

Enter Orlando Black. He didn’t come looking for trouble—but when he intercepts an assassin mid-kidnapping, he’s pulled into a deadly political game with everything on the line. As Black unravels the conspiracy, he discovers that in this town, nothing is what it seems—and everyone has something to hide.

Blending gritty action with ripped-from-today’s-headlines realism, Sunshine Scandal is a tense, twist-filled short story where justice hangs by a thread and one man’s instincts could be the only thing that keeps a city from tearing itself apart.
