Synopsis
This is an intelligent and thoughtful book about suits in Washington, DC in the early years of Reagan. Haven Wilson was up for a big job in Justice, but Reagan won. With an uneasiness he faces the changed political landscape, but without the bitterness, rancor and cynicism of his friends. W. T. Tyler gives us a tour of DIA bureaucy, academic thinktanks, and shadowy political operatives. As is typical of Tyler, his characters are thinking, feeling individuals with complex human motivations. A great read!

About the Author
W.T. Tyler (pen name of Samuel J. Hamrick, Jr.) drew on a twenty-year career as a US State Department analyst in Africa and the Middle East for his novels of Cold War diplomacy and disillusionment. With a gifted ear for dialogue and an artist’s eye for painting a scene, Tyler’s novels chronicle ordinary people caught up in extraordinary events. He died in 2008 at the age of seventy-eight.
Review
“A rock is lifted to reveal the whole crawling nether world of Washington, with its dealers and connivers, its social pretenders and high-placed lunatics, its cynics and has-beens and lost souls.” —The Washington Post
