The Means

By Douglas Brunt

Book Overview

Part Primary Colors, part House of Cards, The Means is a "compelling psychic drama" (Forbes.com) and a "tale of political intrigue" ( The Free Lance-Star ) that takes you deep into high-stakes politics where everyone has something to hide. Tom Pauley is a conservative trial attorney in Durham, NC, who is tapped by GOP leaders to campaign for the Governor's mansion. His bold style makes him a favorite for a run at the White House. Mitchell Mason is the president-elect of the United States, pushed into politics by a father determined to create a political dynasty. Mason manages the White House with a personal touch that makes as many friends as enemies. Samantha Davis is a child actor-turned-lawyer-turned-journalist, working her way up from the bottom in a competitive industry. She is determined and brilliant, and her dogged pursuit of a decade-old story could trigger a scandal that would upend the political landscape. New York Times bestselling author Douglas Brunt's "fast-paced, noirish novel" ( Library Journal ) creates an incisive portrait of ambition, power, and what it takes to win in the ruthless world of politics today.
