"Washington Is No Longer About Lawmaking, It's About Moneymaking. Conventional wisdom holds that Washington is broken because outside special interests bribe politicians. The reverse is true: politicians have developed a new set of brass knuckle legislative tactics designed to extort wealthy industries and donors into forking over big donations - cash that lawmakers often funnel into the pockets of their friends and family. Ever wonder why Congress proposes boatloads of bills when so few ever become law? Answer: the real purpose of legislations is to strong-arm donations out of those with the most to lose from a bill's passage or defeat. And what about all those phonebook-sized bills politicians propose, larded with indecipherable jargon? As it turns out, there is a new underground Washington industry made up of former lawmakers and staffers who reap millions from businesses needing help navigating the complex mess those politicians intentionally create. Until now, Washington's extortion racket has gone unreported. Yet thanks to an extraordinary effort by Peter Schweizer and the investigate research staff of the Government Accountability Institute, we now know the racketeering methods and the players who profit from them. Inside this bombsell of a book, Schweizer reveals: The exorbitant secret "fees" each political party charges politicians for top committee assignments - positions that provide maximum extortion opportunities; How fourteen members of Congress bagged hundreds of thousands of dollars using a little-known self-loan loophole; How politicians use little-known leadership PACs to bankroll lavish lifestyles and purchase each other's loyalty; How the Department of Justice has taken vaguely written criminal laws and used them to shake down and extort wealthy targets and political opponents. Exhaustively researched and compellingly told, Extortion names names as it pulls back the curtain to reveal the shocking new extortion racket ruling Washington." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A kidnapped family. A corrupt small town. A Marine sniper who won't go quietly. When Mason Carr, a former Marine Corps sniper, leaves the battlefield behind, he believes he's finally earned a quiet life. But peace shatters on a backroad in the North Georgia mountains - engine still running, doors wide open - when his wife and daughters vanish without a trace. The law won't help. The sheriff is compromised. And a violent cartel has turned the river system into its personal highway. So Mason does what the Corps trained him to do: track, outthink, and eliminate anything standing between him and his family. As the hunt drags him through small-town corruption, backwoods alliances, and the shadows of his own past, Mason is forced to confront something even deadlier than the men he's chasing - the kind of darkness that doesn't stay on the battlefield. What begins as a rescue becomes a reckoning. What begins as survival becomes spiritual warfare. And along the river's edge, Mason must decide how far a good man can go before he breaks. This story is perfect for readers who enjoy tactical realism, faith woven through grit, Southern noir with moral weight, lone-wolf rescue thrillers, and veterans who fight battles seen and unseen. Gritty. Faith-anchored. Relentlessly tense.The River Between is a Southern military thriller about a man who refuses to let evil decide the fate of his family or his own soul. Start reading now and see how far one man will go when everything he loves is taken. This item is printed on demand.

On a narrow ridge road, a staged breakdown turns into an ambush. Mason takes a bullet to the head and wakes up in the dirt to find his truck gone and his family taken.The men who grabbed them aren't drifters. They're part of a cartel pipeline that runs along the Tennessee River-moving drugs, weapons, and people through quiet Southern towns that don't ask questions. They think they left Mason Carr dead on the mountain.They're wrong.Using the skills he thought he'd retired, Mason tracks the route from a ranger station to a forgotten river port, through an old power plant and into a network of corrupt cops and bought-and-paid-for officials. Along the way he crosses paths with Mateo Cruz, a reluctant cartel driver with a family of his own and just enough conscience left to be dangerous.As the bodies and bad decisions stack up, Mason has to decide how far a father goes to bring his family home-and what kind of man walks back into his house after he's crossed that line.
