Synopsis

Remy Stanton is an ambitious corporate strategist who intervenes in an armed robbery and saves two lives, but is nearly killed in the process. When he wakes in the hospital, he learns one of the intended victims was Alena Griggs, the daughter and sole heir of Rawson Griggs, a brilliant, brash billionaire—and one of the most powerful men in the world.

Rawson Griggs is about to announce a run for President of the United States, and he offers Remy a position in his campaign. Suddenly Remy finds himself thrust into the maelstrom of the most controversial Presidential election in history, where buried secrets and stunning acts of violence rock the nation. As his own star grows brighter, Remy finds himself drawn to the intelligent yet down-to-earth Alena Griggs, whose marriage is strained by the relentless pressures of fame and politics.

Yet as the revolutionary Griggs movement builds steam, shocking events cause Remy to suspect a dark undercurrent running beneath Rawson's campaign. When he discovers the full, disturbing truth, Remy will have to make a choice: stay the course, or jeopardize everything he cares about. Because politics is war. And nobody survives a war with Rawson Griggs.

Goodreads review by NevadaStu on September 08, 2017

Ripped from the headlines? Maybe, if you get your news from CNN or the Huffington Post. More accurately, it was ripped from the deranged mind of a useful idiot. A radical disciple of Saul Alinsky and Hillary Clinton. Having said that, the writing wasn't bad if you can overlook the typos and editing......more

This is a speeding freight train of a book. Once I started it, I didn’t want it to stop. I’m so glad Pinter is back to writing because someone needed to write a book that makes a statement about the insanity that went on with the recent election and current political climate right now. Who better th......more

Goodreads review by Dave on June 27, 2017

Topical as anything in the news today, Pinter gives us a story about a Presidential election with dire consequences. While this book is clearly ripped from the headlines, I found the protagonist, Remy Stanton, to be even more compelling than than anything else in the novel. Stanton is someone who wa......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on January 22, 2018

If you're experiencing some Trump news fatigue, The Castle is an excellent escape, of a sort. This fast-paced thriller is about a corrupt egotistical businessman, Rawson Griggs, who has a lot in common with 45, except he's even more sinister. Remy Stanton discovers this after he saves Griggs' daught......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on February 23, 2020

A must read if you hate Trump. If, however, you're part of the other half of the country, you may find this book and the Trump-like character eye roll worthy. The worst part, for me at least, is that I really enjoyed every other Jason Pinter book. I discovered him through Kindle First Reads and enjo......more
