Sense of Direction

Professor Steven Kaye is enjoying country club life in Florida when his son Ross tasks him with playing personal chauffeur to presidential candidate Dallas Dunn during a weekend of political rallies, fundraisers and a presidential debate. Although well-respected, Senator Dunn is considered by many to be too old for the job. Recent national events prompt Dunn to make a bold speech about securing America’s borders, triggering attempts by his many detractors to sabotage his candidacy. Due to a highly charged political landscape, various factions adopt strategies that call for the senator’s demise. What should be a simple assignment for Kaye becomes a race to survive. A Mexican drug lord, a down on his luck Vietnam veteran, a distressed defense contractor, a handsome cartel henchman, and former members of the Bulgarian Secret Police all stand in the way as the senator tries one last time to secure his party’s nomination. KUSHEL has assembled a cast of characters who will either warm your heart or boil your blood. Sense of Direction is a first rate political thriller. Kushel’s fourth novel should be voted as one of the best of the year!
