In this stylish and gripping historical noir novel, Randall Harker--the controversial city editor of an established progressive daily in the urban Midwest of 1950--excites the wrath of a reckless, corrupt, and ambitious U.S. senator anxious to make a name for himself as the country's most ardent anti-Communist.
