Jake Hanna is at the top of his game as a political consultant. His idealism sets him apart from his more jaded and compromised colleagues in the small universe of top advisors to our Nation's governing elite. Senator Bob McConnell, the seemingly perfect candidate, has put his ambitions in the hands of Hanna and his team of professionals. Their journey will face many obstacles, most of them erected by the nefarious opponents who wish to derail the Senator's candidacy and take power for themselves. No less than the future of the country is at stake. Then there are the suicides, and that fatal choking sensation... The Shadow Candidate is a story of the real politics in Washington D.C. Read it only if you are prepared to handle the truth.
