The Lawmaker - Paperback

by Rick Ward (Author)

Wayne Lott is a young attorney out to make a name for himself. When a state legislature seat becomes vacant, Wayne jumps at the chance to run for office and enter what he thinks will be the glamorous life of politics. But he is in for a deadly surprise. Naive and idealistic, Wayne is a lamb being led to the slaughter. In no time he becomes enmeshed in the violent high stakes underworld of a sinister casino lobbyist. Caught with a hired temptress and threatened with blackmail, Wayne is forced to choose between cooperating with federal authorities and succumbing to the dark side of Mississippi's gambling gangland.
