Capital City Capers - Softcover

Kevin Emile has spent his entire life, all 25 years of it, trying to build his resume so he can get out of Topeka, Kansas. When he is assigned the pet project of an ex-coworker, he must market the City of Topeka to its own residents. Kate Sanchez is fresh out of college, new to town, and interning on an underfunded project called "Topeka is Awesome" which will culminate in a big presentation in Los Angeles. Kevin and Kate both want the career opportunities that result from running a successful marketing campaign, and they know that massive failure won't get them a ticket out of town. With the discovery of a hidden manuscript, suddenly Kevin and Kate are drawn into the mystery beneath the surface of the "Topeka is Awesome" project. The FBI is watching them, mysterious keys and messages appear, and shots are fired. Kate and Kevin do not know whom to trust. Things are not awesome for Kate and Kevin as they try to complete their project on deadline, satisfy the people with the power, and stay alive. Enjoy the unique narrative voice and writing style of each chapter in the first community novel project from the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library as twenty different local authors work collaboratively to advance the story to its exciting conclusion!
