...that does little more than allow the party loyalists to bask in the warmth of nostalgia for the days when they had Walter Mondale to run against. Dole has an economic plan that he does not believe in (as evidenced by the fact that he could bring himself to mention a 15 percent tax cut only when directly asked about it by the moderator) and one that the American people are not willing to buy into at a time of relative economic prosperity.

There the poor fellow sets all the diagnostic dials to spinning inexplicably. Not to mention Luthan's highly ethical brain. For the man dies in mysteriously untreatable agony, and then his body disappears before a proper autopsy can be performed. Investigating, Luthan soon finds himself conspired against--with his job, a fellowship, life itself all placed in fairly suspenseful, smartly realized jeopardy by director Michael...
