Small town Kentucky Councilman, Richard Thompson, gets hands-on experience into the world of D.C. politics. From heady ideals to sexual blackmail, it makes one wonderâwhen do they have time to govern? The fine line between fact and fiction quickly blurs and you may think you have picked up todayâs headlines instead of one of the best new novels to break onto the political scene. Robinsonâs characters are so well developed you might be surprised not to see their names on the ballot at the next election. The Maximum Contribution is a page-turner you canât put down. - McFarland Publishing
Small town Kentucky councilman, Richard Thompson, has the chance of a lifetime when his political mentor, Congressman Garrett Jackson, dies in office and Thompson becomes the nominee for Jacksonâs seat in the House. With Washingtonâs premiere campaign consultants at the helm, Thompson is riding a well-oiled political machine to Election Day success. His victory is in sight when he stumbles upon an issue that places him in the cross-hairs of power-hungry politicians, corrupt lobbyists, gun-running union officials and an on-going FBI sting operation. In the blink of an eye, the traditional ideals taught in the classrooms of Americaâs heartland meet the dark underbelly of our nationâs capital as Richard Thompson overcomes the temptations of money, political power and sexual gratification to win a seat in the United States Congress. What price will Thompson pay for his victory? Will he involve those closest to himâhis campaign manager, his law partnerâ¦even his wifeâto thwart the blackmail attempt of an alluring stripper who claims to have very compromising photos of herself and Thompson? She alone may hold the answer to why several peopleâwho made the maximum contribution to Thompsonâs campaignâwant more than political access.
