Congress is unable to address the most pressing problems facing Americans. Politicians spend more time raising cash to finance their increasingly costly campaigns than they do conducting the business of the people. A minority of individuals, driven by insatiable greed, pursue the accumulation of wealth through whatever means they can get away with, buying the political influence that allows them to do so. Meanwhile, the national debt is spiralling out of control. Against all odds, Elizabeth Stone, a visionary federal judge, is elected president as an independent candidate. During her first two years in office, she makes significant progress by working in collaboration with both major political parties. She is determined to reduce the influence of big money on politics. Then she is assassinated. The Company of Friends is a secretive organization bent on inflating its piggish coffers by any means. Was it involved in the US president's assassination, and if so how? The reader is taken through the seamy side of politics and the murky depths of the criminal underworld, as a persistent FBI agent finally exposes the web of corruption behind such a heinous crime.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46315777032343,"sku":"9781530977833","price":1408.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781530977833.webp?v=1768675693","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-narcotic-of-greed-9781530977833","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
