Author Description

Malcolm Bidwell is young, smart, and ambitious--and he's just been hired by mistake by newly elected Premier Steven Davis as his "go-to guy" for every political mess that needs cleaning up. And there are plenty of messes--from a cabinet minister caught in a vice sting to the premier's animal cruelty charge for killing a crow. Negotiating his way through the treacherous and wickedly funny corridors of power, Malcolm is forced to make difficult choices: between what's right and what's expedient, and between his old friends and his new career. Set in the quirky, combative, and darkly comic world of British Columbia politics--where your friends can be more dangerous than your enemies--Slouching Towards Innocence is a story of politics, love and life.
