About this audiobook
Dive into the murky, cutthroat world of early twentieth-century state politics, where power is brokered in smoke-filled backrooms. An aging political boss tries to mold his idealistic grandson into his successor, sparking a fierce clash of generations and morals. As the young man navigates bribery, smear campaigns, and entrenched corruption, he must decide whether to play the dirty game or burn the system down. This is a riveting, cynical exploration of ambition, integrity, and the true cost of influence.
