And how did he get ensnared in a vast right-wing conspiracy to steal the presidency? It all begins so innocently when Goldberg starts moonlighting for eccentric, conservative billionaire Alan Carston Stowe as an archivist. But Goldberg's appointment worries a cabal of ruthless right-wingers -- ostensibly allies of Stowe, whose money lubricates their zany scary conspiracies -- with very close ties to the White House. They fear that Goldberg will find something in Stowe's records that will compromise the dirty tricks involved in re-electing Augustus Winthrop Scott, the dim scion of a powerful Republican political family, for a second term. As the presidential election heads into its final stretch, the hunt is on to remove Goldberg from his position -- by any means necessary. The acclaimed, Edgar-winning mystery writer Larry Beinhart returns with this timely novel. In the tradition of Carl Hiassen, Elmore Leonard, and Joe Klein, \u003ci\u003eThe Librarian\u003c\/i\u003e is a frenetic, scary and hilarious thriller that goes deep into the dark heart of election year politics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry Beinhart\u003c\/b\u003e is best known as the author of \u003ci\u003eWag the Dog\u003c\/i\u003e (originally published as \u003ci\u003eAmerican Hero\u003c\/i\u003e) on which the film starring Robert DeNiro, Dustin Hoffman, Willie Nelson and Woody Harrelson was based.
