{"product_id":"9780771047879","title":"The High Road","description":"This deeply funny satire continues the story of Honest Angus McLintock, an amateur politician who dares to do the unthinkable: tell the truth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJust when Daniel Addison thinks he can escape his job as a political aide, Angus McLintock, the no-hope candidate he helped into Parliament, throws icy cold water over his plans. 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\u003eSoon 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":"Terry Fallis (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback Trade paperback (US)","offer_id":48916491370688,"sku":"9780771047879","price":22.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/1032\/6976\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ddc8eec3-10b4-46c0-b2db-d66ccf1fd727.jpg?v=1788015946","url":"https:\/\/stirlingbookco.ca\/products\/9780771047879","provider":"Stirling Book Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
