Our young, handsome mayoral aspirant, Collier Winthrop, is recruited by a crusty old political boss, Al Caso, to upset the status-quo. He soon is faced with opposition from within and without. 1970’s. Before. The House of Cards, there was Power Play.
Events occur that uncover a sordid police mentality, unveil the civil rights of the Flower Children being violated, ruin reputations and threaten the very lives of Collie’s confederates.
Collie is met by an unscrupulous adversary, practiced in deceit; manipulated state investigative agencies and a contaminated police department.

Ken C, Reviewer
Power Play is an intriguing political novel that covers the rise of a young man who takes on an incumbent mayor and wins. Then he learns that the campaign has only just begun. That campaign is the one to govern, and the obstacles he faces would wither just about anyone. Author F. Ethan Repp knows his stuff. He takes us through a zinger of an attempt by the deposed mayor to destroy the man who beat him, and dirty politics is almost a euphemism for what he undertakes. There's quite a bit of detail here, which almost makes the novel a textbook of politics and government.
