About this title

From the Publisher:

He began as a youthful idealist, drawn by the ideas and dynamism of congressional candidate Sam Adams. His career, linked with Adams' rapid ascent through the ranks of power, led him to a position of national influence achieved by few. Yet in the process, a question nagged Jon Abelson, image-shaper for Washington's brightest political star: How far can you go before compromise becomes corruption?

Jon would ultimately discover the answer through events too horrifying to imagine . . . and a shocking, hidden agenda he could never have dreamed of.

The Insider is a fascinating and disturbing look at the politics of power. Written by a Washington insider, it probes the hard choices Christians must make in an arena where the ends justify all means. Here are well-developed characters, wrenching realism and a gripping read that will keep you turning the pages right up to the unexpected, stunning finale.
