The lawyers serve the street; the street serves them. It's a lucrative symbiosis fueled by billion-dollar deals and power games among a class who already have more wealth than they'll ever need. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat's not Paul; not yet. He still drives his college junker, lives in a tiny apartment, chooses takeout from the deli over the hundred-dollar lunches many of his colleagues enjoy. But he wants more. Much more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen a senior partner at the firm, Eric Cantor, learns of Paul's family connection to an influential bureaucrat at the FAA, the young lawyer finds himself propelled into a linchpin, life-changing position-suddenly he's the only one who can bring home a billion-dollar airline merger. Soon Cantor treats Paul not only like a major player but a son, especially when they're sailing out on Chesapeake Bay together... \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut soon the less-than-honest intentions of the various players come to light, and the idea of loyalty becomes tenuous and vague: When Jack Tate, the owner of the airline, makes him an offer he can barely refuse-a chance at a payday totaling millions, if he's willing betray his boss and father-figure Eric Cantor-Paul will be forced to choose whose avarice, his own or that of K Street, he will truly serve. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mind Harvest Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781946052452\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Michael G.
