About this audiobook
In the world of high-stakes politics, a man's dignity is often the first thing on the chopping block. In
The Scapegoat, Paul Laurence Dunbar crafts a sharp, unflinching story about the price of success and the cold mechanics of betrayal.
Robinson Asbury has built a life of influence through hard work and strategic brilliance. But when the wind of political convenience shifts, he discovers that those who cheered his rise are the first to arrange his fall. In a society that demands a culprit to protect its own, Asbury must face a system where justice is a luxury and the truth is a dangerous weapon.
With his signature controlled wit and deceptive lightness, Dunbar strips away the mask of "polite society" to reveal the raw power plays beneath.
The Scapegoat isn't just a classic story—it's a hauntingly modern look at what happens when a man refuses to be the victim the world expects him to be.
