Corruptions

the long version

"On a good day, the world of political lobbying is complex and cuthroat. Ed Matthews should know: he's been a foreign policy lobbyist for years, for a firm specializing in 'small countries with big problems.' Although his wife, Charlotte, wants him to stop working 'for everyone but America, ' Ed can't bring himself to give up just yet. So when his uncle, a powerful U.S. Senator, hands him a lucrative new client, Ed dares to hope he's finally make it to the big leagues. For the first time, he is in the driver's seat, lobbying on behalf of the Dungan American Friendship Society. He tackles the job with a newfound vigor not realizing until too late that the Dungan is a sham, a cover-up for a political conspiracy of epic proportions. Caught up in an intricate web of deception, Ed scrambles to salvage his career and his personal life in this boistrous, fast-paced, and often raucous novel by a former D.C. lobbyist."--Back cover.
