Texas lawyer Mitch Dutton is running for U.S. Congress and is a virtual shoo-in come November. But his opponent, Shakespeare McCann, has other plans. A dark horse candidate with no past and no principles -- a total unknown who has come out of nowhere -- there is no weakness McCann will not exploit, no secret he cannot expose, and nothing he won't do to get elected. And Mitch is running scared -- because McCann would kill to be congressman.

It was intelligent, slick, and fast-paced. I couldn't believe the nerve of the Shakespeare McCann character! Even though I hated McCann, I could hardly wait to see what he would do next!!! I loved this book!! Thank you Mr. Richardson for your ability to provide characterizations and descriptions succinctly, yet still give the reader a clear picture of the events as they unfolded. You are a wonderful storyteller.

I am amused by some of the negative reviews which accuse this book of being too outlandish and unbelievable. I love to read, and when I pick up a book I want to be entertained. Reality checks are not a prerequisite. And there is a lot in this book that outrageously defies reality. Which is why it is so much fun to read. I zipped through this book, laughing out loud (which made my poor husband believe I had gone over the edge). Shakespeare McCann is so unbelievably evil you almost gotta love him. (I see Jack Nicholson playing him in the movie, if it is made). I don't think the author expects anyone to take this book as a serious indictment of our political system. This is pure and simple entertainment. To take it seriously is to ruin the fun. Just read it for the sheer enjoyment of a good yarn.

This book was an easy read and highly entertaining. Unfortunately there is no credibility. The antics that take place here could never happen, the press would go crazy over a candidate with no past, the people seem too gullible, McCann never says anything of substance, and the death of Hammond...well, a reviewer below said it, there is no way he would have been out riding a horse instead of at campaign headquarters. It gets to be too much, but it still was highly entertaining.

Entertaining, but preposterous, novel about a run for a congressional seat in South Texas. The dark spirits of Richard Nixon, Lyndon Johnson, and especially Ross Perot permeate... Read more
