In America, anybody can become president. In 1920, anybody did. Harding was a strikingly handsome man, a high school graduate of impenetrable ignorance whose only two qualifications for the presidency were that he looked and sounded presidential--provided you didn't look or listen too closely. Ohio's "favorite son" at the nominating convention, he recognized his deficiencies, did not want such high office, and never expected to be nominated, no less elected. But his destiny was to become the first packaged candidate, elected largely on the strength of a carefully crafted image. Thus began 12 years of Republican rule that fostered unbridled capitalism and willful isolation, leading to the Great Depression and the rise of European dictatorships, which set the stage for World War II. Greatly complicating things was the relationship between Harding and Nan, who shared a deeper intimacy and hotter sex than anything enjoyed by more contemporary White House occupants. But woven around and through their furtive couplings is the tapestry of corruption and scandal generated by a half-dozen uniquely odious presidential cronies. But this tale is not unremittingly bleak. After having been content all of his life to just slide by, Harding reinvented himself in his last year, proving that nobility can triumph over selfishness, that listening to your heart may be more reliable than listening to your head, and that love which is pure can transcend death itself.

     VAL It’s been almost two months since I took my baby daughter and ran for the hills. We had to get away from my abusive ex. He’d given me enough black eyes and sleepless nights to last a lifetime. And my little girl deserves a better father than a devil like him. For a little bit, it seems like we’d made it out safe. I might be stripping to pay the bills. But it’s worth it if that’s what it takes to feed my daughter, to keep a roof over our heads. And there’s something liberating about getting on that stage. Up there, with my legs around a pole and pounding music in my ears, I can be anybody. I can be anonymous. Powerful. Free. And then it all comes crashing down. It started with a simple request for a dance. But when I saw who was asking, my blood froze in my veins. The outlaw biker waiting in the champagne room was like something out of a romance novel: Rugged, tatted, leather-bound, unbelievably huge. I gave him what he wanted. And that might just be the last thing I ever do. MERCER She looked more innocent than I expected. It’s easy to rationalize killing most of my victims – it’s kind of necessary when you’re a biker hitman like me. The scum on my hit list are usually criminals of some kind: low life thugs, dirty drug dealers – you get the idea. They deserve what’s coming to them. But Val was different. There was something in her eyes – something fragile. Special. Worth protecting. And when I find out she has a baby girl at home… The job gets that much harder. But my employer tells me I don’t have a choice. Get it done, he says. Put her down and move on with your life. So I go through the steps. I find her at the club where she dances. Take her to a room in the back. Tell her I know who she is – who she really is. Her jaw drops. I can see her eyeing the door. Getting ready to run. And then I tell her the ugly, bloody truth: I’m the man who’s been sent to kill her.
