Review
“Essential reading for all political fiction junkies.” --Library Journal
Review
“It moves along smartly and suspensefully, with insightful glimpses of White House life… It’s a gloriously cynical climax to an entertaining tale, and by itself could justify another book about Charlotte Kramer’s troubled White House. Wallace’s first two novels have been impressive." --The Washington Post
Review
“This novel reads like a lighthearted novel for people interested in politics, but it's also a pretty big indictment of how the political process works." --Time.com
