Produktbeschreibung

A man holds his wife and son at gunpoint. The domestic dispute sparks global attention. Why? Because the woman is a renowned scientist leading the fight against Parkinson's disease. And the man is a prominent U.S. congressman.

What caused the popular statesman to crack? Why would he self-destruct and snuff out a bright political future?

FBI Special Agent Regan Manning may have a clue. She and her partner have spent months piecing together a murky trail of illegal bribes and were a day away from arresting Congressman Jon Haines. But the standoff forestalls the arrest and sets off a firestorm in D.C.'s explosive political environment.

Regan suspects a link to the congressman's longtime mentor, a former U.S. defense secretary who still wields enormous power in Washington. Her relentless probe of the man, a vocal critic of the FBI, sets her bosses on edgeand lands Regan in a high-stakes standoff of her own.

Autorenporträt

Like her novel's protagonist, Robin Lehman grew up in Juneau, Alaska. She got her first taste of politics at age 17 when she went to work in the office of the Alaska Governor.

Robin has been a Kansan for more than three decades. She holds a bachelors degree in journalism from the University of Kansas. In the early '90s, she established a lobbying/corporate communications firm in Lawrence along with her husband, Pat. During the 20-year course of serving clients, both as a lobbyist and a communicator, she became deeply immersed in public policy issues. Often surrounded by contentious debate, such issues could, in Robin's estimation, become the stuff of some pretty intense political thrillers.

Perseverance, the first in a series of issue-based political thrillers, was borne out of the long debate surrounding oil exploration in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the disposal of nuclear waste, foreign oil imports, and alternative energy major issues over which opposing forces could collide. And collide they do in Robin's debut novel published by Fogdog Press.
