What if you were given a last chance at greatness, but had to stoop very low to reach it. Could you do what Chris Lake plans? MAKING ECHOES END is a political fable about a candidate who believes he has to clear the skeletons from his own closet if he's ever going to be successful. Unfortunately, multiple murder becomes his chosen method of closet cleaning'. Almost from the first moment political consultant Christian Lake learns he's on the short list to become New York's next Senator, he begins to eliminate those who were closest to him during his criminal college days in the 1970's. To gain his edge, Chris must quickly kill: a flamboyant Mob connected Chicago talk show host, just days prior to the entertainer's program going national; and a disillusioned Hollywood executive whose lifelong dream of happiness is nearly within reach. Intersecting these three is the woman whose love, at one time, they all shared, but who is now unable to see the coming disaster created by Chris' attempt at MAKING ECHOES END. MAKING ECHOES END is the second novel by Peter Rubenstein. This black comedy begins with the question, who will run for office if every little thing' they've ever done wrong will be dredged up and examined? And, what if those little things', weren't documented, only witnessed? Chris Lake's answer to that question is simply to eliminate the witnesses, believing history is whatever the survivor says it is'.
