[A] sharp, funny political thriller . . . As [the main characters'] machinations unfold, leading to all manner of shady schemes and ruined lives, it's hard not to race through the pages. This is a knockout." ~Publishers Weekly ("STARRED REVIEW") When young Will Bradley arrives from Ohio to join the staff of a newly prominent U.S. Congressman, he learns to trade in the influence economy of Capitol Hill. Installed later at a powerful lobbying firm during the fevered aftermath of 9/11, Will and his patron in Congress master a lucrative specialty. Channeling foreign money and favors, they harness Washington's formidable forces to deliver regime changes abroad for impatient second tier royals and politicians, eliminating their rivals and leapfrogging succession lines. But one operation goes wrong, drawing in a competing lobbyist with extreme bedroom appetites and a plan to destroy Will, a betrayed wife descending into madness and violence, and a European prince betting his survival on Washington's shifting loyalties. Vengeance, money, and politics collide to choose surprising winners and losers.
