Mark Coffin, U. S. S. : A Novel of Capitol Hill

343 sayfa. 14.5x21.5 cm
Mark Coffin of California was barely thirty years old when he won a startling upset victory in his race for a seat in the U. S. Senate...which made him the youngest and most talked about member of that complex and forbidding institution. He was also a bright, handsome, energetic idealist with a passion for decency in government-and he thought his honesty and dedication would see him through just about everything. Obviously Mark Coffin had a lot to learn about Washington, and Washington was only to willing to teach him its hard lessons of gamemanship and compromise. His wife was a senator's daughter. She knew the pressures his colleagues could bring to bear on a senator who didn't play by the time-honored rules. But even Linda Coffin wasn't prepared for the worst that Washington had in store: a bizarre sex scandal that would threaten to destroy not only Mark Coffin's career and his personal life...but with them the whole political reforms he was fighting so desperately to achieve.
