Descriptions Favorite Son PDF
Washington DC, 1988.
When the leader of the Contra Freedom Fighters, Colonel Octavio Martinez, is greeted by the dashing senator Terry Fallon on the steps of the Capitol, all is not as it seems.
It is a perfect scene, with Martinez representing the symbol of the popular revolution that would bring democracy to Central America, and Fallon, the charismatic liberal from Texas prominently campaigning for the Contras’ cause.
At precisely eight-twelve a.m. that morning the cheering swelled.
You couldn't hear the shots above the noise of the crowd but the bullets seemed to explode as they struck, and the two men swayed like drunken dancers …
In the year preceding this fateful event, Fallon was fast becoming an American hero, and on his way to Vice Presidency with the help of the best P.R advisor in town, Sally Crain.
However, with his wife in an institution, Crain practically runs Terry’s life and they both have secret pasts that threaten to ruin not only their careers, but their lives.
As the full involvement of the government in the crime that shocked the nation is slowly uncovered, it is up to the aging FBI agent Mancuso to become the unlikely hero in uncovering this political plot.
