Overview

Alex Tanner is a Professor of Classics at Yale University. A previous run for office in Connecticut bore no fruit, though he still maintains a connection with politics. For this reason he's invited onto the Golden American, a luxury boat that, unbeknownst to him, is filled with potential donors for his former college friend's bid for President. Deceit, murder, and a poisonous snake on the loose-well, many snakes, in a sense-fill this adventurous, nail-biting voyage. David Rubin displays an inimitable grasp of high society and all its follies in this page-turning epic that stands up perfectly in today's charged political climate, reminding us once again that the wealthy buying and selling elections is nothing new.
