After the chaos and chicanery of the Trump years, is a thriller based in presidential politics even still possible? Author Andy Kutler, a Madison native, answers with an emphatic yes in Honorable Profession: A Novel of American Politics. Former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey calls it “a winning story for people who believe in the virtue of public service,” and a positive story drawn from our modern political world certainly would be a thriller.

About the Book

After resigning from his agency under an ethical cloud, 46-year-old Dan Cahill commits himself to rebuilding his relationship with Megan, the college-aged daughter in Las Vegas he has long neglected. She persuades a reluctant Cahill to join the student-led campaign of a popular professor competing in the Nevada presidential primary against impossible odds. As they face powerful forces conspiring to clear the field, Cahill's deep-seated disdain for electoral politics collides with Megan's higher ideals. Each of their faiths are tested by political allies and adversaries, all desperate for victory, no matter the costs.
