The critically acclaimed, bestselling author of The Ax and The Hook is
back in rare form as he introduces Meehan, a character who keeps the lid
from blowing off Washington politics. Meehan, a career thief staring at
life without parole, is awaiting sentencing at the Manhattan
Correctional Center when he is called to a meeting by someone
masquerading as his lawyer. The man, it turns out, represents the
presidential reelection campaign committee now finding itself in need of
a little professional help. So they outsource Meehan in return for a
walk from all pending criminal charges. All he has to do is steal a
compromising video tape before the other side springs an October
Surprise on the president. A shrewd burglar, Meehan bites—and shows
just how easy Watergate would have been had they left it to the
professionals.
