Angus has just brought down the government with a deciding vote. Now the crusty Scot wants Daniel to manage his next campaign.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Soon Daniel is helping Angus fight an uphill battle against \"Flamethrower\" Fox, a Conservative notorious for his dirty tactics. Together they decide to take \"The High Road\" and--against all odds--turn the race into a nail-biter with hilarious ups and downs, cookie-throwing seniors, and even a Watergate-style break-in. But that's only the beginning. Add a political storm in the capital and a side-splitting visit from the U.S. President and his alcoholic wife, and Terry Fallis's second novel is a wildly entertaining read full of deft political satire and laugh-out-loud comedy.","brand":"Emblem Editions","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42872604754000,"sku":"9780771047879B","price":9.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780771047879-l.jpg?v=1785905550","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-high-road-9780771047879b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
