In Sam Bourne's suspenseful thriller 'The Chosen One,' Maggie Costello, an idealistic political advisor, faces a crisis of faith when President Stephen Baker, whom she fervently supports, becomes embroiled in scandal. A political opponent is murdered, and suspicion falls on Baker. Maggie is torn between loyalty and doubt as she investigates a conspiracy that reaches back into history and goes to the heart of the American establishment. Could the leader she trusts be behind the murder? Has she been deceived by his message of change and hope? Maggie embarks on a quest for the truth that leads her to question everything she thought she knew.
