On a whim, Lust Cosmetics Company owner Melvin Shultz resorts to the same sleazy tactics he employed to make his firm an industry leader to manipulate the American presidential primaries. His goal is to see if he can put inept, woman-chasing ex-governor Robert “Buck” Porter into the White House.
Pursuing his “3 B’s,” (bribery, bullying and blackmail,) Shultz is successful. He then is unexpectedly persuaded by Porter to become CIA Director. Shultz quickly realizes he has made a horrible mistake, and that Porter is so bad his administration threatens America’s future.
Feeling responsible for foisting Porter on the country, Shultz must now decide whether to risk disgrace and probable imprisonment by again using the same ruthless tactics in an attemptt to force Porter’s ouster from the Presidency.
From the reviewers:
Intiguing. Political intrigue! Corruption in the white house! This book was a really good read – I was kept page turning – and made me think about what’s really going on behind the scenes of government and its ties to big corporations. Great fiction makes you think about real life. Oh and I liked the double entendre of the title – great name for a book! – Andrea Cornell
Power, greed, corruption, assassination attempts, paid supporters, lies, controversy, backroom deals, blackmail, and public opinion manipulation all come together and keep you guessing in this superb and delightful political thriller. The author crafts a splendid and captivating tale that is not only entertaining, but also opens the mind to the fact that there are major flaws to the political process. – Tanja “Kindle lovin”
More suspense than a murder mystery. This book has more suspense than most mystery novels and kept me reading and reading almost non stop until finished, I hated for it to end. Who said politics were boring? – Karen West
Beginning to End Enjoyment. From the first page of this book until the end Mr. Grayson kept me entertained. The best thing about this book is the obvious research that has gone into it. The author not only has a keen understanding of advertising and business but also what appears to be an insiders knowledge into the United States political process. – Sandy
