DARK HORSE

by Fletcher Knebel (1972)

---

A former trucker, Eddie Quinn worked his way up. Now Eddie works for the Highways and is more management than labour. Things are good. Any ambitions held by Eddie do not fall into the political realm. But then Eddie is selected to run for President of the United States. Weird? Not if Eddie is supposed to fail. Who on earth would vote for an unknown entity, a long shot, a no-chancer, a hopeless fool? A dark horse? Eddie is an outsider operating from within. Going forward, Eddie Quinn mostly wings it. His crucial strategy: just tell the truth! Just express yourself succinctly and without fealty or fear of rejection – tell all those rich executives and wealthy politicians the simple truth! Fiction. 376 pages.
