Like we say in Louisiana, it is time to start ripping some bark off the tree. And poor Max Parker isn't going to know what hit him." With these words from Sammy Black, a ruthless political consultant, a war for power begins. An assassination attempt, a scandalous affair and the politics of personal destruction take center stage in a bitter Presidential campaign. This fight revolves around three men; one, the incumbent President; another, his political ally and heir apparent; and the third, the President's disloyal Vice President and political enemy. In a world where the only rule is that there are no rules, these three men and their allies wage a desperate fight for power, with their party's nomination, and the Presidency itself, as their ultimate prize. This fight exposes the blood sport that is American politics, where strength means survival and where weakness and scandal drip like blood in shark-infested water. From the splendid majesty of the Oval Office to the passionate frenzy of a political convention hall, this road to victory is littered with secret deals, scandal and betrayal, climaxing in one long, heart-pounding summer night in Indianapolis where only the politically fit can survive.

Price of Justice

By: Lance E. Ryskamp

I want everyone from Research to stop what they are doing and find out everything there is to know about Ryan Turner. Legal career. Personal life. Everything! An unexpected death creates a vacancy on the Supreme Court. The choice of a brilliant, but flawed nominee stuns the country and triggers a political storm that destroys everything in its path. What begins as a political fight over a Supreme Court nomination between well-funded interest groups soon escalates into a political death match between the nations two most powerful politicians. As 21st Century technology and a twenty-four hour news cycle become lethal tools in the political black art of character assassination, nothing is considered off-limits. In this political version of kill or be killed surrender is not an option and almost everyone has their price in the quest for the best justice money can buy. From the hallowed chambers of the Supreme Court, to the marble walls of the United States Senate, to the expensive cocktail parties of Washington D.C., ruthless ambition and money create a combustible mix in a struggle for power that will not only determine the future of the Supreme Court, but also the political survival of a President.
