In this political thriller by the author of The Secret Lovers, Paul Christopher's cousins tinker with an election while a reporter chases a lead. Originally published in 1979, The Better Angels is set close to the end of the twentieth century in a drastically changed America. The CIA has been dissolved into the Foreign Intelligence Service. It is an election year. In Washington, D.C., an Englishman crashes a cocktail party at the home of TV anchorman Patrick Graham with a secret that could shake up an already deeply polarized nation. Soon, Graham is traveling the globe in search of the explosive truth . . . From the writer the New York Times Book Review called "the genuine article," The Better Angels is a thrilling and relevant masterwork. Praise for The Better Angels "A thinking man's thriller with a frightening finale." — Newsweek
