Inhaltsangabe

Jon Stone is a reporter with a rationalist's need to see the world as it is, not as Washington's elite would prefer to print it.

He is already digging into the campaign donations of Seymour Solomon, a real estate magnate, when one of Solomon's high-rises collapses in Northern Virginia, killing hundreds.

An ex-bricklayer who left fingertips behind on the job, Solomon learned how to pour concrete, move money, and make problems disappear. Now he's a philanthropist, too, with friends in Georgetown and the White House, and Stone's reporting pits him against Washington's unholy triad of media, government, and big business, where everyone knows who not to cross.

As Stone pushes deeper, he discovers that the people closest to him may be the ones most determined to stop him.

The Solomon Scandals is a character-driven novel of political corruption, family tension, and betrayal, set in a Washington where respectability and virtue are often oceans apart.

"We get to relish his chatty first-person narrator ... the same dark zeal Hammett held for Frisco or Chandler had for Los Angeles."

-- Ted Scheinman, Washington City Paper

"Captures the aura of dark nihilism in some quarters of the political world with great power ... This is a riveting work, mordantly insightful and surprisingly entertaining."

-- Kirkus Reviews
