A literary/speculative/thriller blend, BISACed political; from National Book Award finalist Ackerman and navy veteran Stavridis.
Peguero, Robin. One in the Chamber. Grand Central. Mar. 2024. 352p. ISBN 9781538742464. $29. Downloadable. POLITICAL
New to Capitol Hill, Iowa farm boy Cameron Leann works with a group of polished junior staffers who serve six powerful U.S. senators and look askance at his hayseed background. The infighting gets worse when the first Black chief justice to the Supreme Court is nominated. Born to immigrant parents, Harvard Law graduate Peguero currently serves as chief of staff to a member of Congress. Like his debut, With Prejudice, a laserlike look at how juries function, this book should be approached less as thriller than a deep dive into political understanding.
