"What a terrific, page-turning, enlightening book! It's well-plotted and well-written, suspenseful until the very end, and revealing about politics and the human heart. Highly recommended."
--James Fallows, former White House speechwriter and New York Times-bestselling author of Our Towns
When a Capitol Hill intern mysteriously disappears, a congressman finds himself in a media firestorm in the midst of a heated primary race.
Congressman J.D. Clay had the makings of a presidential contender--an Iowa Democrat, war hero, and one-hit-wonder songwriter who made Washington work by listening to all sides and finding common ground.
But then Saundra Gray, an attractive young intern in his office, disappeared.
As accusations of an affair and even involvement in her disappearance explode around him, Clay's world--along with that of his loyal chief adviser, Wally North--is turned upside down.
In a saga spanning more than two decades and continuing long after Saundra's killer is found, journalist Isaiah Stone untangles a winding web of sex, secrets, and lies at the highest levels of government.
In the spirit of classic novels like Primary Colors and All the King's Men and inspired by the true story of the still-unsolved Chandra Levy case, The Saundra Gray Affair is more than a murder mystery. It's a powerful commentary on power, politics, and the brilliance and flaws of both our laws and our leaders.
