Jake Telemarck is a junior senator from Wisconsin who enjoys his position as a moderate, common-sense legislator. His life is moving along nicely until he receives a phone call from Isadore Hathaway, the daughter of a famed but deceased US senator. Isadore arranges a clandestine meeting with Jake to tell him about a plot by a group of fanatical right-wing evangelicals (the Bookeepers) who plan to destroy US democracy and replace it with a theological oligarchy. She wants him to kill these men. Jake is taken aback at first and refuses to get involved. Isadore bolsters his motivation by telling him that he has been targeted by this group as a potential obstacle to their plan. In addition, he realizes that Isadore has discovered a part of his past that had long been buried. When in the military, he was part of a secret group of assassins. Jake refuses to get involved until parts of Isadore's scenario start to come true. Despite his vow to himself never to harm another person, he agrees to help Isadore stop these men. But the rebellion is deeper and more entrenched than he believed, and events conspire to put Isadore and Jake-as well as the US government--on the defensive. The outcome is far from certain in this fast-paced, first-person narrative.

    think. The kind that button-holes you on the Capitol steps and doesn’t let go until you either get into a car or get rude. Beyond his right ear, just to the left of his moving mouth, the instrument of this momentary torture, I caught a glimpse of my driver pulling up to the curb. I forced my eyes open to full alert and made my own mouth move. “Gotta go,” I said, interrupting him. “My ride’s here.”
    I slipped into the car wondering if every congressman and senator was as annoyed by these guys as I was. I have been in the Senate for almost two years now, and my disdain—no, my contempt—for these bastards has not diminished a bit, not a single iota. It’s all about money, money, and more money. It’s a child’s pretend game
