...beautiful widow left destitute by the will of her plutocrat husband. The surreptitious exhumation of a corpse while fog swirls in the phosphorescent light of early dawn. A treasure chest crammed with cash. Innocent children falling victim to a mad scientist in pursuit of the secret of eternal life. A brilliant, tormented young hero who says things like, "Either I am mad and should be committed, or the generations of Pembertons are doomed...

Along the way father faces financial ruin, daughter runs away and turns hobo...
...even in their wildest dreams, may not agree instantly on the best approach, for example, to urban blacks or Southern evangelicals. And getting along with Perot may be harder than getting along with each other: Rollins met Perot only last weekend, and Jordan's relationship with the populist plutocrat predates Rollins' by only a few months. Rollins' penchant for candidly criticizing his own clients will eventually put Perot's legendary thin skin to the test...
