{"product_id":"9780743247801","title":"Bad Publicity","description":"By: Jeffrey Frank     \u003chr\u003eIn the twilight of the Reagan era, as prospects appear brighter than ever for a Democratic restoration, the lawyers, lobbyists, advisers and socialites of Washington are looking ahead -- but over their shoulders, too. With good reason. \u003cbr\u003e Charlie Dingleman, a former congressman, has gotten a tantalizing job offer that could rescue him from the drudgery of lawyering. But he's being shadowed by an increasingly unsavory rumor started by Judith Grust, a young associate at Charlie's firm. Judith has a few dark secrets of her own, like one she shares with Hank Morriday, a lazy, shiftless welfare policy expert. That helps to drive Hank into the orbit of Candy Romulade, a P.R. executive paralyzed by a dwindling client list. Then Candy signs up a veteran local anchorman, who has a very peculiar view of the world. \u003cbr\u003e As these men and women collide in a lusty, mad scramble, their savage ambitions and reversals of fortune test the idea that there's no such thing as bad publicity. The result, \u003ci\u003eBad Publicity,\u003c\/i\u003e is a pitch-perfect, often poignant novel in the classic Swiftian mold.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":46744112431331,"sku":"DTRSSUS-9780743247801","price":112.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/O_2b4da797-0455-4962-9153-b7171074e07a.jpg?v=1750646748","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/en-mo\/products\/9780743247801","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
