{"product_id":"mockery-second-edition-9780988042889","title":"Mockery (Second Edition)","description":"Mockery is a political whodunit: who arranged the two scandals that sank the two major-party presidential candidates and swung victory to the Independent candidate? Sam Walker, a young history-book writer conned into covering the election by his editors, receives an anonymous post-election note: two campaign staffers from different parties colluded to bring about the scandals. He investigates, and the incredible truth pops out: that the scandals were triggered by an innocent mix-up of video tapes. A presidential election, it seems, can be lost as easily as a wallet. Alone with his scoop, Sam writes his how-the-election-was-won book, selling millions of copies -- then discovers that his story was all wrong: much more sinister forces were actually at work. Meanwhile, beautiful Laura Prestini, the campaign worker most responsible for the mix-up, has evolved from national laughingstock into A-list icon  Sam attempts to rewrite history -- but will anyone listen? Poignant, comic, and tragic, its plot turning on one clue after another, Mockery describes the elastic condition of truth in a world where media companies control the public narrative, and the Internet, by its free-for-all nature, can churn truth and falsehood into the same stew.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Philip Kraske\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Encompass Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/28\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.46lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780988042889\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Encompass Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43059578830963,"sku":"9.78099E+12","price":15.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_8ba754c7-e779-49ee-9947-e9d3ad5f01b0.jpg?v=1747309441","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/mockery-second-edition-9780988042889","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
