About the Book

Brent Turner, a successful businessman, is pursuing a U.S. Senate seat in Colorado. His son, Nolan Turner, is one of the best college football players in the nation, a candidate for the Heisman Trophy, and is obsessed with eclipsing his father’s fame.

The Turner men are driven hard by the women behind them. Brent’s second wife, Gloria, and his campaign manager, Helen, use him to further their ambitions. Nolan’s girlfriend, Celeste, has her eyes on the lucrative NFL contract he will sign when he is drafted.

Both campaigns are threatened by a drug dealer, Charger, who keeps a sharp blade and a cool head, and by a newspaper reporter, S.W. Abbey, who wants to unearth a secret Brent Turner has kept buried for many years.

As their high-pressure campaigns thunder on a collision course, each will take drastic measures to protect those goals. But how far is too far?
