US Congresswoman Laura Christen is attempting to become the first Independent woman Speaker of the American Congress, despite all the opposition thrown at her by the male members of Congress and people of both political parties. A campaign of hate mail filled with slurs, allegations of drug connections and the claim that she abandoned an illegitimate baby, appears in the gutter press and is sent to the parties opposing her election. A very complicated plot unfolds with murder, attempted blackmail and the unleashing of a powerful, mind bending drug by a company with whom she was connected years previously, surfacing. It's an entertaining read, full of the back stabbing nasty bits that we are all too well aware, must go on in the political field.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!! I HAVE IT IN HARDCOVER--SO I HAD TO GET THE PAPERBACKA(EASIER TO CARRY AROUND)!!! REALLY, REALLY GREAT READ!!!! WANT A JUICY, SCANDALOUS READ--GET THIS BOOK!!!!

This book is an entertaining romp to say the least. Whenclassifying it as entertaining, I mean entertaining in the same sensethat 'Melrose Place' or even 'Days Of Our Lives' is, or was, classed as entertainment. This book contains all the essential ingrediants of your average B-grade telemovie. The characters are as realistic as 'The Bold & The Beautiful' (indeed, many of them are referred to as bold and beautiful), ranging from the ageing, yet beautiful politician who is re-united with her old flame - a devilishley handsome rogue journalist, through to private invesigators and meaningless sex - there is even attempted seduction by use of an aphrodiasac! There are numerous mysterious characters, ranging from assasins to rich powerful playboys - all of whom we've seen so many times in the wide variety of day time soap operas. This book isn't great reading, you probably won't want to tell your friends you read it and I doubt that you'll believe anything that happens in it - but sometimes that just what everybody needs ('Melrose Place' was pretty popular there for a while, if I recall correctly...).
