Story Of A Sociopath: A Novel

Product Description

I'm scum. Yes, I always have beena. I know what I did, and what I should have done. Thomas Spencer is a man who knows how to get what he wants, though his poor health and aging looks are the price he's had to pay. He wears these features proudly, like scars from the battles that propelled him to the top in his glamorous career as a publicist and media maven. But lately, after several cardiac episodes, he senses that his time in the sun is dwindling. In the solitude of his luxurious Brooklyn apartment, he begins to look back on the convoluted trajectory his life has taken. What follows is a spellbinding psychological narrative that takes us through the world of international media and politics from the 1990s to the present, brilliantly probing the workings of a complex, destructive personality whose greatest satisfaction is to shatter the happiness of others. As shameless as it is electrifying, Story of a Scoundrel illuminates the true nature of power through the mind of a master psychological manipulator.
