About this ebook
A Chicago politico fights to protect his candidate from a murder investigation
On the outside, Senator Warren Nichols’s reelection campaign appears to be proceeding smoothly. But behind closed doors, chaos reigns. The senator’s rabble-rousing opponent is gaining in the polls, and rumors of Nichols’s womanizing threaten to end his political career forever. When his chief of staff quits and then commits suicide, turmoil threatens the Nichols camp. Only Dev Conrad can haul the senator back from the brink.
A battle-hardened political consultant with a military background, Conrad finds the Nichols campaign in even worse shape than he imagined. A sleazy political operative has gotten his hands on a compromising tape of the senator, and he wants $1 million to keep it under wraps. When the blackmailer turns up murdered, Conrad must find the tape to keep his senator out of jail.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Ins & Outs of dirty politics, megalomania, & murder...Dev Conrad is a top notch political campaign consultant, he has just replaced Senator Nichols' previous consultant, Peter Wylie, who had been fired by the senator after a loud public falling-out.When the senator falls over from a spiked drink during a public debate, his opponent takes advantage of the situation.Enter a behind-the-scenes muck-racker, blackmail, Peter Wylie's suicide, and the murder of the muck-racker... along w/ a tape of the senator screwing a young woman in a hotel room....Just a bunch of ugly people, with one of the culprits being obvious.....Not much to recommend this book, might drop this series by Gorman.
