Machine politics is a tough business, filled with people who put
far more value on power and money than on honor, friendship, or the
lives of those who challenge them. Atop this maelstrom sits
Chairman Eamon DeValera Collins, formerly the undisputed boss of
the Irish-Catholic Fifteenth Ward and now the man who controls the
entire city. In this position, he finds himself surrounded by
opportunists, amateurs, criminals, thieves, and cold-blooded
killers.
Those he can trust are few and far between, and they are far
outnumbered those who would attempt to use their connection to him
to eliminate their enemies and line their own pockets. While only
one former ally is sufficiently tough-or crazy-enough to directly
challenge his leadership, the Chairman will stop at nothing to put
down any challenger.
In "The Chairman's Challenge, " the sequel to "The Chairman, A
Novel of Big City Politics, " award-winning writer Mark M. Quinn
takes the reader on a sometimes dark, but always thought-provoking,
tour of the ins and outs of a political machine. It's a brutal
examination of the minds of men and women who will sacrifice
anything or anyone for a chance at power.
