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.
