Clement Scheutz, a recently discharged young soldier, finds himself entangled in Cubas armed revolution. It triggers a revolution inside himself and he sees that in order to survive he must renounce his own life of violence, find a peace for himself, and a home to go to. Led by the voice of a murdered Cuban woman, he sets out to pick up the traces of what had once passed for a home. In the city of Cincinnati, he finds the scattered shards of that fragile haven, and many surprises that lead him, not only into his own psyche, but on a path that could lead him to better future. From his younger brother whom he has not seen since he was thirteen, and from the beautiful woman whom he has loved since she was a gawky teenager, he learns to come to terms with himself as a person shaped by his environment, and still capable of rising above it.

Gary Chafetz is a liberal Boston journalist who set out to chronicle the scandal involving conservative gun-for-hire and super-lobbyist, Jack Abramoff. Instead he uncovered a Shakespearean tragedy of deceit, betrayal and political vendetta in which the true villains are Presidential aspirant John McCain, the Washington Post newspaper and the U.S. Department of Justice--all of whom participated in the railroading of an innocent man. Chafetz benefited from exclusive and unconditional access to the jailed Abramoff and to many never-before-released documents. The blizzard of stories originating from the Washington political machine painted Abramoff as an implausibly greedy lobbyist who cheated Indian tribes, bribed politicians and corrupted the political process--a fascinating tale but, ultimately, untrue. The true story, as Chafetz recounts in The Perfect Villain, is even more riveting and compelling.
