Download Damage Control: The Josie Kendall Series, Book 1 AudioBook Free
When Jerzy Schroeder, a shadowy gray-market hustler and aspiring crony capitalist, is murdered while Josie Kendall is striking him up for a million dollars to help him profit from alternative-energy funding, the police believe her of adultery and her husband, Rafe, of homicide. Josie, who works for Bulk Ideals Coalition, an "activist fundraising business", is a fresh but passionate Washington, DC player. Rafe, long a Washington insider, is interested in Josie and about promoting her learning curve how Washington works. For Josie and Rafe, this is not a murder analysis but a politics damage-control problem. They'll desire a full arsenal, since, as you capital insider points out, "A destruction control strategy that hasn't succeeded within thirty days has failed." They strike the problem with an array of finely tuned skills: tactical leakages, manipulation of the media, judicious use of inside information, and a flexible attitude toward the truth - plus the assistance of Josie's uncle Darius, a veteran spin doctor with shocking connections who's, luckily, from parole. Along the way Josie will have to determine whether there are honest lines that even she won't mix. With this House of Cards scenario, deciding who actually murdered Schroeder is a low-priority problem, but Josie manages to do that as well. It's all in a day's - or, somewhat, 30 days and nights' - work.
