The Devil's Politics - Hardcover

by Drew Benbow (Author)

As two brothers' paths diverge, the novel unfolds into a rich narrative that encompasses political intrigue, personal struggles, and the complexities of brotherhood.

Damion and Devon are identical twins. But it's their differences that set them onto diverging life paths, resulting in their eventual estrangement.

Devon grapples with his identity. He's black, and a low-level aide to a Republican congressman. He's forced to reckon with his politics and his social consciousness when one of the congressman's past misdeeds lands them both in the center of a national scandal.

Deemed a bad apple from childhood, Damion's story collides with Devon's when a pair of hit men track Damion from his Army base in Afghanistan all the way to Devon's Washington, D.C. doorstep.

The Congressman's scandal, Damion's hit men and the woman's scorn test the brothers' already strained relationship.

At its core, "The Devil's Politics" challenges established systems of power, presenting an alternative perspective on contemporary black political participation. The novel aims to provoke thought on black political empowerment in America, providing a riveting narrative that explores the complexities of identity, politics, and the consequences of personal choices.
