'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.
--Miguel de Cervantes

In an election year, Don finds himself in the unlikely role of political
operative. Rumors about the Tea Party's opportunistic gubernatorial
candidate, Kenyon Louderbush, paint him as an unfaithful, callous
exploiter of young men...young men that he puts into the hospital...or
perhaps the morgue. Don smells truth in those rumors. But, he's
confounded by a shadowy conspiracy, witnesses' fear and a grieving
family appallingly willing to give up on justice for a brutalized son
and brother.
In RED WHITE AND BLACK AND BLUE, series creator Stevenson takes witty aim at the polarization, dissembling and double-dealing of American politics. It's a story that leaves even our hero, Don, tarnished and bruised.
