Wag the Dog





Larry Beinhart
January 2005     ISBN: 156025663X

Once upon a time there was a mean, dying GOP chairman who had a brilliant scheme to insure that his man would retain the office of President of the United States of America. But the only man who could pull off this elaborate plan was a certain celebrated Hollywood director.

Add to the mix a left-coast gumshoe named Broz who is trapped between cover-ups, undercover work and his own morality, a cast of bicoastal desperate characters, and the stage is set for a powerful DC/LA production...

What readers are saying

"Remarkable."

--Los Angeles Times

"Beinhart takes the triumph of the image maker to new heights."

--Wall Street Journal
