Aprašymas
From Leonard Downie Jr., longtime editor of "The Washington Post, " an eye-opening novel of corruption, deception, and intrigue in our nation's capital.
Sarah Page, arising star at the "Washington Capital, " has been assigned to cover the dark world of politics and money in Washington. But when she begins to investigate an influential lobbyist and his clients, sherealizes that little is what it seems. As Sarah digs deeper, one of her sources is murdered and others disappear. She herself is the target of a car bomb, and a late-night caller warns that she is jeopardizing nationalsecurity. And while she is determined to pursue the story wherever it leads, her own romantic indiscretions leave her vulnerable.
Sarah is helped by Pat Scully, an evasive, cryptic source in hiding; KitMorgan, a ubiquitous presence in the national security community whose employer remains a mystery; and Chris Collins, a cooperative congressman whose motives are obscure. When President Susan Cameron-suddenlythrust into the job when her predecessor dies in the White House-is confronted with what Sarah has found, the scheming of her top aides and her own political survival come into conflict with her duty to thecountry.
No one knows more about Washington, its inner workings and secrets than Leonard Downie Jr. And no novel has better captured the tensions among business interests, politicians, and the press, orthe morally ambiguous ways in which all three really work. "The Rules of the Game" is a riveting and searing debut. "From the Hardcover edition."
