The Senator's Suitcase (Paperback)

Senator Beth Davenport was a rarity in Washington--a revered statesperson with a spotless reputation who served the public interest. But away from the halls of Congress, she was an enigma. Among her belongings, her son, Troy, stumbles upon a suitcase containing millions in cash and now questions whether she was just another dirty politician. In searching for answers, he pieces together the mosaic of his mother's life and tries to reconcile the public persona with her private one. Along the way, he also falls head-over-heels for a remarkable woman who becomes his sounding board and wailing wall.

The Senator's Suitcase is Mitch Engel's fourth novel, and like his others, The Senator's Suitcase weaves contemporary themes with timeless values. This thought-provoking work is intriguing and satirical, but never heavy-handed, as it draws to an unexpected conclusion. In this tumultuous election year, The Senator's Suitcase will cause readers to ponder the complex background and conflicted motivations of a genuine national stateswoman...and ultimately wish someone like her was running for our highest office.
