Product Description The Right Man is the story of a young man's quixotic quest to unseat the legendary Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, a powerful and cunning Georgia Politician who has never lost an election, but whose age has finally become a real liability. Doug Crane represents the most serious challenge he has ever faced. The young Republican is blessed with a beautiful wife and a wealthy father-in-law more than willing to provide financial support.Sam Brinker, the gregarious "Furniture King of Atlanta", is another of Crane's big supporters who soon finds himself caught up in a tempestuous controversy orchestrated by The Chairman. But this story is about more than political machinations. It is about temptation and lust personified by a beautiful fashion model who comes into the candidate's life with the purpose of destroying Doug Crane because of something that happened to her long ago. It is also about a petty swindler who is bold enough to confront The Chairman in a scheme that will result in a disastrous conclusion. About the Author Ward Jones is a retired oil and gas lawyer living with his wife, Shelby, in Houston, Texas. A number of the characters from his first novel, The Southerner and the Serpent reappear in The Right Man.
