description: Edward Nicholas Quinn, an obscure New Jersey highway official, had suddenly become a Presidential candidate. Not a serious contender, of course. He was the compromise choice of the National Committee after the sudden death of the party's original nominee. With only three weeks left before the election, no one considered him more than an inoffensive figurehead.But Eddie Quinn was nobody's figurehead. If he couldn't win, he could at least shake things up. Proposing ideas that would really benefit the minorities, the young, women, and the long-abused working man, he quickly lost the backing of the party's well-heeled supporters and won the admiration of millions of voters.His refreshingly unorthodox campaign, the twists of fate that test Eddie's influence and integrity, the suspense of a long election night - Fletcher Knebel weaves these elements into a timely and engrossing novel of politics and power in America today.
