Choosing Sides (The Nancy Drew Files 84) by Keene, Carolyn. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780671730888.

Nancy lends a hand in a local election -- where issue #1 is murder. River Heights is about to elect a new mayor and every candidate will have to take a stand on crime. But Nancys choice, District Attorney Caroline Hill, apparently doesnt have a leg to stand on. Small-time hoodlum Bobby Rouse has implicated the DA in a bribery scandal, threatening her integrity and her chances for victory. Nancys convinced that Caroline is the victim of a frame-up, but before finding the proof, she has another victim on her hands -- Bobby Rouse, victim of murder. Politics can be a dirty business, and its up to Nancy to root out the corruption. Fearing that the election will be decided not by ballots but by bullets, Nancy knows this is one race she cant afford to lose.
