When Gulf War veteran Jim Asher joins the Senate campaign of a California business magnate, his all-American dream world begins to collapse as he must face up to his excesses, his indiscretions, and the person he has unwillingly become.

Reader reviews for Spin

From the publisher

An unforgettable chronicle of political seduction, Spin is a whip-smart look at a world of thrilling excess, raw power, and utter ruthlessness--laying bare the American democratic process in action, and in the flesh.

Plunging into California politics armed with a lethal tongue and a taste for power, Gulf War veteran Jim Asher lands a plum role in Republican Edward Winston's bare-knuckle Senate campaign. Learning spin control from the master--Bud Raper, the crude hired gun who catapulted both Reagan and Bush into the Oval office--Jim quickly becomes the hottest new political consultant west of the Washington Beltway, an Armani-clad Machiavelli who snaps up the perks of a six-figure salary and illicit liaisons with everyone from loyal party girls to roving celebrity reporters. Through it all, Jim keeps his eyes on the ultimate prize--Washington.

But when the stakes of the game are raised, Jim comes face-to-face with an unexpected nemesis: his own conscience. With more than one shark prowling the waters, Jim is forced to risk everything--a choice that threatens to trigger a political shakedown of epic proportions.

First line

I had just returned from a summer in Europe and had no idea what the hell I was going to do with my life.
