Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a colorful historical novel which follows the intertwining lives of several eccentric characters against the backdrop of elite Washington, D.C. society and the corrupt world of political lobbying in the late 19th century. At the heart of the story is Tom, a young man in love with Montezuma Bugg's daughter Marie Antoinette. Tom is pulled into the world of lobbying when he becomes Bugg's confidential clerk but finds his heart and principles increasingly at odds with the ruthless behavior he witnesses. As the story progresses, subplots involving a mysterious woman using the alias Dora Jones, and a congressman who is not what he seems, add intrigue and suspense. Through its characters' experiences, this book provides a fascinating glimpse of a pivotal era in American history and exposes the inner workings of the lobbying industry and the lengths people will go to achieve wealth and power.
