A self-made millionaire at 30, Andrew Trevayne has a beautiful home in Connecticut, a loving wife, two handsome teenage children . . . and integrity.  Because he is politically independent and incorruptible, Trevayne is asked to head a Federal subcommittee investigating the corroding relationship between corporations and the Defense Department.  But before he can accept, his daughter is charged with heroin possession, his son accused of a hit-and-run, and his wife framed in a sex orgy.  Trvayne realizes that he is not untouchable.

It is not the President's urging, but the murder if Trevayne's lone Senate supporter that convinces him to take the job.  Gis probe takes him beyond the corridors of power into a nightmare maze where Mafia leaders mix with billionaires . . . where Congressional seats -- and even the Presidency -- can be bought and sold . . . where blackmail and murder, seduction and betrayal are common coin.  At the center of the maze is a vast corporate conspiracy headed by the mysterious Gennessee Industries.  No one knows who runs it, but everyone is either part of it, controlled by it, or deathly afraid of it.

When the President is slain, even Trevayne is sucked into the Gennessee mire.  Playing on his vanity, the conspiracy offers him the Presidency.  When he accepts, will it be as Gennessee's dreaded enemy, its duped victim -- or as a future king?

A riveting novel so chillingly plausible that it could be about today . . . or tomorrow.
