HTML: When Oklahoma attorney Ben Kincaid came to Washington, D.C., to defend a senator caught in a red-hot sex scandal turned murder case, he never dreamed he'd end up trading the courtroom for the senate chamber. And after his not-so-distinguished client stepped down, Ben found himself appointed to complete the sullied senator's term. Now, having barely gotten his political sea legs, he must rise to yet another challenge: advising the president's next Supreme Court nominee during the sometimes thorny confirmation process. Luckily, Judge Thaddeus Roush's popularity on both sides of the aisle looks to make him a shoo-in. Until he decides to out himself on national television--igniting a Beltway uproar and setting the stage for a bare-knuckle partisan brawl. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I've been a Ben Kincaid fan for quite a few years now but I don't really enjoy him in a political setting. As a trial lawyer in Oklahoma he is great but this "Capital" trilogy is not Bernhardt's best work. I'd say at least 3/4 of the book was political speeches and committee meetings and the other 1/4 was devoted to the mystery, which was actually a pretty good one. It just got lost in all of those pages of words, words, words.
