On The Hill, it can be hard to separate politics from big business and organized crime. Everyone is in someone's pocket. Some are in more pockets than lint. Your best friend on one issue can be your worst enemy on the next. Based on reality and personal experience, The Hill is a novel ripped from the headlines. It is a compelling tale of corruption that explains more vividly than any work of nonfiction why our government is so dysfunctional and health care reform is doomed to failure.
