Synopsis

GONE WITH A WINDFALL is the portrayal of a political affair in high places. The summer of 2012 finds Queeny, the favorite 40-year-old poet senator- daughter of the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) headquartered in Indiana, USA, rather piqued. Pitted against the sibling rivalry of her brothers in pursuit of political inheritance in a small but vital party- the young congresswoman who is caught in the vise of tricky politics and engulfing romance has to manipulate her way up the corridors of power in Capitol Hill, Washington D.C. The kickbacks of US $50 million the female lawmaker is alleged to have received from the man she has catapulted to the high political office of Telecom Secretary in the US Government flies in her face. Greed, the ill-gotten windfall, propels her to her doom. How would America react to her extra-marital relationship in the middle of a political election? It’s a thriller that keeps the readers on the seat’s edge…
