Ed Cobb, Speaker of the House, wants Briggs to challenge the incumbent in a 1968 Vermont congressional race. Henry is use to winning in tough situations. But he also knows about losing -- in his marriage, with his kids -- and he knows that he made one big mistake on his way to big-league fame, one night in Jimmy Battles motel in Rhode Island. It is an error that could come back to haunt him if he doesn't do what Cobb directs. A companion novel to TRUST, VICTORIES -- hard-hitting, insightful and funny -- shows us the world of small-time politics and those communities where everybody knows too much about everybody else's business.
