Just in time for elections! From "one of the most important writers in American fiction" (Michael Chabon), comes the newest installment to the Isaac Sidel series in a decade. This never before published novel continues the saga, but this time at the vice presidential level. From New York's Police Department commissioner to the city's most beloved mayor in history, he has become famous for his refusal to surrender his Glock and for his habit of disappearing for months at a time to fight crime at street level. So when baseball star J. Michael Storm offers Sidel the VP spot on the Democratic ticket, the two men win in a landslide. But soon the two slide into a gritty battlefield of sex scandals and corruption, and to save his own reputation Storm sends Sidel to a place from which tough politicians seldom return: Texas.

In the Lone Star State, Sidel confronts a slew of misfits, crooks, and accusations with the same bravado as the gritty streets of the Bronx. But if he doesn't watch his step, he risks making vice presidential history and getting killed on job.
