"Lay Me Down Easy On That Big Brass Bed" examines the irresistible allure of pursuing the brass ring of easy money, easy sex and easy drugs. From bureaucratic 'perks' to hard-ball politics, and from a private health club to a secluded rural motel room, the novel lays bare the political and sexual intrigues swirling throughout the cavernous halls of power at Minnesota's State Capitol and the 'good old boys' network within the host city of St. Paul.
