A Story of American Politics. From the author of "A Daughter of Thespis." Illustrated by Rollin G. Kirby.

Nick Davis is a thirty-eight-year-old auto mechanic right outside of Washington DC, in nearby Bethesda, Maryland, who begins an affair with a congressman's wife. They make two mistakes. First they fall in love, and second they get caught by Congressman Daniel Sellers who will not let an affair ruin his blind ambition to become a US Senator in the next election. Nick survives a murder attempt by Sellers' cronies, and spends time in hiding trying to find irrefutable proof, when he realized he is actually in the middle of a giant scheme by Sellers and his crew to manipulate the entire US economy by staging a fake terror plot. He is now tasked with bringing everyone to justice without getting things pinned on him. With enough sleuthing and intrigue to keep any mind busy, he uncovers the seedy underworld of government corruption, obfuscation, and cover up of the truth, pitting the criminals against each other, while he makes their entire operation implode on itself.

NATIONAL BESTELLER • The New York Times bestselling author of Monogomy brings us a "tasteful, elegant, sensuous" (The Boston Globe) novel about marriage and forgiveness. Meri is newly married, pregnant, and standing on the cusp of her life as a wife and mother, recognizing with some terror the gap between reality and expectation. Delia—wife of the two-term liberal senator Tom Naughton—is Meri's new neighbor in the adjacent New England town house. Tom's chronic infidelity has been an open secret in Washington circles, but despite the complexity of their relationship, the bond between them remains strong. Soon Delia and Meri find themselves leading strangely parallel lives, as they both reckon with the contours and mysteries of marriage: one refined and abraded by years of complicated intimacy, the other barely begun. With precision and a rich vitality, Sue Miller—beloved and bestselling author of While I Was Gone—brings us a highly charged, superlative novel.
