The Influencer

A Nick Lynch Thriller, Book 2

By: E.L. McKenzie

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Denver Detective Nick Lynch is back on the job. Nine months after hunting down The Doctor, Nick has rebuilt his life, reclaimed his badge, and found something he thought was gone for good: hope. He’s sober, steady, and ready to return to homicide. Then a young woman turns up dead on a remote Denver road. At first, the case looks routine. It isn’t.

Across the country, powerful people are making sudden, inexplicable reversals. A governor changes course overnight. A senator folds. A national gun-rights leader abandons everything he built. Each move looks political. Each one is something far worse. Someone is forcing the powerful to obey, and he calls himself The Influencer.

As Nick joins a national task force racing to identify the man behind the coercion, the bodies pile up, families are shattered, and a hidden network begins to emerge—one built on fear, secrecy, and control. But The Influencer isn’t just manipulating politicians. He’s watching Nick, too.

The Influencer is the second book in the Nick Lynch crime thriller series: a dark, fast-moving investigation filled with psychological pressure, brutal choices, and twists that don’t let go. Perfect for readers who enjoy John Sandford, Michael Connelly, and Harlan Coben.
