Opis

The Lobbyist, by Thomas Hibbard, follows Tom Burton, former Chief Deputy to L.A. Supervisor John Howard, and L.A. Times reporter Kathy Boyd, as she tries to investigate Burton to gather information on possible county corruption. Tom is no friend of the press and Kathy finds her assignment less than productive, until Tom finds himself the main suspect in Howard's murder. With all evidence pointing in Tom's direction, including public knowledge of his grudge against Howard, Tom sees the writing on the wall. Ultimately, Tom and Kathy find their unlikely pairing mutually advantageous, and a rocky relationship begins. When the district attorney tries to prosecute Tom, and Kathy becomes the target of drug dealers, the two find their lives changed forever in ways they could never have imagined. Author Hibbard has written a smart political thriller that will leave you asking for more. The Lobbyist is sure to please any political-thriller junkie, and anyone who just loves a tale well told.
