Citadel

Little does Nick Taft know when he arrives to serve his Congressman in Washington that he would stumble upon a human smuggling cartel insulated by powerful interests on Capitol Hill. An idealist struggling in the murky waters of legislative politics, Nick meets the beguiling Lisa Castile, an ambitious staffer of the opposing party. She works for an influential committee chairman with suspect ties to the trafficking venture, and Nick must decide whether his involvement with her is worth the risk. The relationship of these two opposites and the enterprise they unveil trails immigration reform legislation, ironically controlled by the nefarious chairman. A Justice Department investigation into the illegal operation provides the young staffers a brief respite from the cartel's thugs until their own behavior becomes the target of a federal inquiry. Is it intended to deter them or the cartel? In desperation, Nick and Lisa mobilize all their personal and political connections, including the help of a recent immigrant, to expose activities on the Mexico border. Their efforts dig them deeper into a hole of political and legal conflicts from which rescue may only be possible through the outcome of a pending election. Majority Rules moves the reader through the halls of Congress with a startling insider's view of currently relevant political history. In between machiavellian power schemes, the story highlights the majority / minority mindset that has entrapped Washington for decades, and illustrates how the process there is so easily undermined.

Legal Theory & Systems

Dedicated staffer, Nick Taft, exits the halls of Congress for an eye-opening journey through Washington's lobbying world awash in money and bereft of morality. Joining the ACC, a well-connected communications coalition, he learns through Kale McDermott, a seasoned lobbyist, the ways of survival in Washington's power grid. Along the way he discovers how well-intentioned politicians are so often persuaded against their better judgment: money. Assigned to cover Montana for his coalition, he befriends powerful Senator Clarence Waters, whose staffers' antics quickly place him on the edge of criminal activity. But Nick needs their boss's support, and the embattled third-term incumbent needs help from every financial source, including Nick. Desperate to secure his own career and guarantee the reelection of Senator Waters, Nick is swept into a gold mining company's campaign finance scheme. But the miners' lawyer manipulates a twisted strategy by engaging a Mexican drug cartel that leads Nick into the middle of the vast and often dangerous Crow Reservation.In his second novel, Roger Fleming takes on the dual beasts of DC lobbying and the dark side of campaign finance. His insider's view alternates between the ethically threadbare lobbying world of the 1990s to a meth-addled campaign trail in 2006 that together determine the outcome of one of America's closest and most consequential U.S. Senate elections of the early 21st Century.
