Aféry Jacka Adamse, hlavního hrdiny románu Parchant, se až nápadně podobají skandálům, které nedávno otřásly postavením bývalého prvního muže Ameriky, Billa Clintona. Pohledný a bezcharakterní Jack, údajně nemanželský syn J. F. Kennedyho, touží po moci a neméně tak i po ženách. Shodou okolností zasáhnou do jeho života agenti sovětské tajné služby. Líbivý úsměv, vemlouvavé chování, ambiciózní menželka a především peníze, Jackovi pomohou dostat se mezi americké politické špičky. Za závratnou kariéru se ovšem platí!
