However, as Landis becomes more deeply involved with this group, he begins to realize that their lifestyle is not all that it seems. The group is plagued by infighting, jealousy, and a general sense of moral decay.As Landis struggles to find his place in this world, he is forced to confront his own moral compass and decide what kind of person he wants to be.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Vice of Fools Set forth in pomp she came. Richard II. v, I. Official Washington was huddled in the drawing-rooms of the Secretary of War. All sorts and conditions of bureaucracy were there. Lean, litigious congressmen with shaggy locks, or corpulent and pompous senators with radiant bald spots, touched shoulders with cabinet officers and their clerks, while scornful diplomats with glittering baubles dangling from their coat lapels mingled with officers in blue and gold and everywhere were the rustling gowns of pretentious wives and pretty daughters. These people smirked and nodded, prattled and jostled with the gratifying consciousness that they were fulfilling the function for which the chance of party supremacy had chosen them.
