This crusade is much in evidence in Pearson's first novel. The Senator, written with an assist from Novelist Gerald Green (The Last Angry Man), to be published this month. Its hero-villain is a walking compendium of all the sins that Pearson sees committed in Congress. Rich enough to begin with (a construction magnate worth at least $150 million), the hero is a willing and corrupt tool of Conglomerate...
