by Craig Snyder (Author)
"If you like political intrigue, this is the book for you." - Marjorie Margolies, former Democratic Congresswoman
"This book gives you a sense of how politics happens in real life because Craig Snyder has lived it." - Andrew Yang, former Democratic candidate for President of the United States
As November approaches, two near opposites clash for the nation's highest office. It's Ven Hess, firebrand populist breaking all the old rules, known as "The Hessian" for his intimidating tactics on the pitcher's mound, versus Democrat Alec Maynard, an African American Admiral with his own flaws but who offers the nation at least some hope of normalcy.
Pete Vankov, a political operative known as the "Dark Angel" because of his reputation for winning at all costs, spearheads the Hess campaign. Meanwhile, an estranged colleague, David Gruber, together with The Globe's political reporter, Jane Berglund, devises a plan to thwart Vankov's march towards a dirty and dangerous victory.
Who wins?
With Guile, veteran political strategist Craig Snyder has written a thriller exposing the dark underbelly of American politics, a novel rich in suspense and intrigue that will have readers turning its pages quickly in rueful anticipation of the next election.
"Snyder has been a national political insider and highest level operative for three decades and it shows in the authenticity and details on every page of this gripping 'House of Cards' style novel." - James Greenwood, former GOP Congressman
"Snyder outlines how ethically compromised these relationships can be. How tough... how impossible... when they find themselves flying too close to the flame. There is sizzle and scandal. They get so far, they can't turn back and typically they're convinced that they must win at any cost... that the ends justify the means. It's ripped from the headlines, you will recognize the players. Sometimes it becomes a battle between the bad and the worse. Snyder provides a surprising and rather uplifting ending. If you like political intrigue, this is the book for you." - Marjorie Margolies, former Democratic Congresswoman
