In the brutal arena of politics, trust no one.
Jack Hudson thought he left behind the dangers of war, but nothing could prepare him for the treacherous battlefield of politics to find that every ally can be an enemy and every victory a trap.
In Horrible People, former special services officer Jack Hudson is convinced against his better judgment to stand for election, entering the deceitful world of politics with an open mind only to face betrayal and sabotage from within his own party. Manipulated by the ambitious Senator Stephanie Morgan and hindered by party disloyalty, Jack's initial failure almost makes him quit. Senator Morgan, seeing Hudson as a continued threat to her authority, orchestrates his further downfall. Thrust into a by-election for an unwinnable seat and against all odds, thanks to his determined adviser, Hudson wins the seat by a razor-thin margin.
Success, however, brings more peril as Machiavellian colleagues and criminals target him. His office is firebombed, and his reputation tarnished. As Jack navigates this treacherous political landscape, he faces a crucial decision when a criminal offers to manipulate an election in his favour. Jack rejects the offer, wins on his own terms, and sets the stage for a promising political career. But the real challenge begins when Senator Morgan, thwarted in her ambitions, schemes for revenge. As Jack prepares for his next term, his only ally, Chrissie Woodward, steps in with a game-changing proposal. But in a world where politics is showbusiness for ugly people, Hudson must decide how far he is willing to go to survive and protect his career.
