Leopold Who?

What if the only way to expose corruption... was to become part of it?

When a small-town mayor makes a desperate request, three New York creatives find themselves pulled into a dangerous game where truth, performance, and survival collide.

After the runaway success of their hit series Stage Craft in Misty Glen, Travis Leopold and Jay Romano are approached by Harold Thompson, the longtime mayor of Cloverfield. Beneath the town's quiet charm and neon-lit bowling alley, Thompson believes something far darker is thriving-money laundering, drugs, and organized crime hidden in plain sight.

Instead of hiring detectives, the mayor wants something unconventional.

He wants fact-acting.

Using the same immersive method acting techniques that fueled their television success, Travis and Jay-along with their unpredictable tech savant partner, Milt Kemp-are asked to infiltrate Cloverfield not as investigators, but as fully realized characters. New names. New lives. New risks.

What begins as a dangerous experiment quickly spirals into a high-stakes operation involving crooked cops, criminal families, buried secrets, and a bowling alley that may be the nerve center of it all. As the lines between performance and reality blur, the trio must navigate shifting alliances, moral compromises, and the terrifying realization that once you step into a role this deep, there may be no clean way out.

Leopold Who? Corruption in Cloverfield is a fast-paced crime thriller infused with sharp dialogue, dark humor, and unnerving realism. Blending elements of investigative journalism, undercover operations, and psychological suspense, the novel asks a chilling question:

If pretending to be someone else uncovers the truth... who do you become in the process?

Perfect for fans of:

• gritty crime fiction

• undercover thrillers

• morally complex characters

• darkly comic realism

• stories where truth is more dangerous than lies

Once the game begins, there are no rehearsals.
And no safe exits.
