Angus has just brought down the government with a deciding vote. Now the crusty Scot wants Daniel to manage his next campaign. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoon Daniel is helping Angus fight an uphill battle against \"Flamethrower\" Fox, a Conservative notorious for his dirty tactics. Together they decide to take \"The High Road\" and—against all odds—turn the race into a nail-biter with hilarious ups and downs, cookie-throwing seniors, and even a Watergate-style break-in. But that's only the beginning. Add a political storm in the capital and a side-splitting visit from the U.S. President and his alcoholic wife, and Terry Fallis's second novel is a wildly entertaining read full of deft political satire and laugh-out-loud comedy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eTERRY FALLIS grew up in Toronto and earned an engineering degree from McMaster University.
