About Snowball's Chance (Unabridged)

Fat Tony, as Mayor, has a vise grip on all political and business activity in this town. Full of racism and corruption, his political machine operates with impunity. Accepting bribes and using the police to abuse Black citizens who dare enter the community has been a winning formula for this crooked mayor anticipating reelection in this mostly white enclave. Combine that with the mayor’s Mafia connections and its clear taking on the Fat Tony mob could be hazardous to one’s health. Despite this, an idealistic young attorney challenges him in the next mayor's race. The naïve newcomer faces destruction of his income, his family, and maybe even his life as this thriller crescendos in that fateful November election night. Everything rides on the election result. You will cheer the challenger's successes and bite your nails as he faces down the threats...if only he can hang on until the bitter end. He's losing his confidence and his courage as the clock clicks down to this unbelievable ending. The last few chapters race at blurring speed as the listener's adrenaline gets the heart pumping toward an amazing climax. The best final three chapters in American literature!
