What this book is about
Newt Gingrich's political thriller follows a protagonist navigating the corrupt intersections of political power, international money, and the kind of secrets that capital cities accumulate over decades. Gingrich's fiction draws on his insider knowledge of Washington to construct thrillers that feel procedurally credible even when they're operating at the level of airport-bookshelf entertainment.
