Snowball's Chance

by DAVID LYNCH

True story of political power where the mafia rules and one man looks to defy the odds to unseat entrenched and crooked city officials

Available in Kindle and Hardcover formats

"Fast-Paced Ride to Election Night"

Fat Tony, as Mayor, has a vise grip on all political and business activity in this town. Full of racism and corruption, his political machine operates with impunity. Accepting bribes and using the police to abuse black citizens who dare enter the community has been a winning formula for this crooked mayor anticipating reelection in this mostly white enclave.

Combine that with the mayor’s Mafia connections and its clear taking on the Fat Tony mob could be hazardous to one’s health. Despite this, an idealistic young attorney challenges him in the next mayor’s race. The naïve newcomer faces destruction of his income, his family, and maybe even his life as this thriller crescendos in that fateful November election night. Everything rides on the election result.

You will cheer the challenger’s successes and bite your nails as he faces down the threats… if only he can hang on until the bitter end. He’s losing his confidence and his courage as the clock clicks down to this unbelievable ending.

In this book you will LIVE THROUGH

"The True Story of Mob Politics Where Telling the Truth Can Be Deadly"

Anyone who has championed civil rights and fought for the underdog will find this true to life drama gripping. A must read for those who oppose racism in local government.

David Lynch reminds us that evil, injustice, and terror find themselves in each other's company all too often. This book is a wild ride from page one!

A compelling political primer on how idealism can defeat political entrenchment. Also, doesn't hurt the story's fast-paced and well-written.

Snowball's Chance gets your blood going! It's hard to believe this is a true story, but it is. It reminds me that politics is not for the faint of heart.

David Lynch writes his account of his race for mayor of Euclid, back in the heyday of NE Ohio’s mafia. A well paced read, it provides an entertaining snapshot of life, faith, and of small town politics in the 1980’s. It will have you rooting for the good guy, from the first page right to the very end!

This book is a page turner from beginning to end! A great story as the underdog fights his way through the corruption of Middle-America politics to come out on top. You find yourself punching the air in victory as the story comes to its climax. But you can't help but wonder what the next chapter has in store for Mr. Lynch. Will we be treated to a Part 2?

Having received an advance copy of David Lynch's delightful book, I highly recommend Snowball's Chance! His writing style is unique, easy to read, and he tells us a true story of a triumph for the "underdog." The last chapters will give you a "stand up and cheer" feeling.
