Synopsis

It is the week before a local election in Palm Springs. Incumbent, Randall Duke, is dodging scandal while courting the Christian vote. His opponent, Mary Swain, a sexy, well-financed newcomer, does not have a firm grip on American history or elemental economics. Meanwhile an anonymous political blogger, "Desert Machiavelli" is exposing new secrets daily.

About this title

Review:

Praise for Seth Greenland

"The Angry Buddhist is a great novel. It's satirical, it's political, it's sexual. All the things that I love dearly. Finally, something to come home to."
—Larry David

"Recalls the more good natured novels of Evelyn Waugh...Shining City is very funny...readers will be seduced by the combination of narrative skill and sharp-pointed wit."
—Los Angeles Times

"The Bones is savagely funny...one of the most perceptive and flat-out hilarious novels about L.A.'s brutal Darwinism, a book that makes you cringe through your laughter-induced tears."
—San Francisco Chronicle
