Strange Bedfellows — Matt Witten

FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES

Jacob Burns is a loving husband, devoted father, and work-at-home writer. And he's about to be saddled with a whole new profession--campaign manager. Jacob's old college
roomie, Will "With a name like this..." Shmuckler, is in a tough race for Congress against a perennial local favorite...and he wants Jacob to help him win.

But the race is cut short when their opponent is shot dead, and Shmuckler is arrested for the crime. Jacob knows his friend is innocent--and he sets out to prove it. The list of suspects is longer than the dead man's questionable campaign contribution list--and takes Jacob from the quiet streets of Saratoga Springs to Albany's halls of power, where he finds that some people will do anything to get a vote....
