Two Richmonders who were neighbors in the West End--Lewis Powell, Jr., and Eugene B. Sydnor, Jr.,--played key roles in the development of the systems of lobbying, legal strategy and financial investment that exist in the United States today. They are two characters from the early part of the story told by Brody Mullins and Luke Mullins in The Wolves of K Street. Brody Mullins will be at Richmond Public Library to talk about the book and Richmond's place in political history. A dazzling portrait of fifty years of corporate influence in Washington, The Wolves of K Street is a “not-so-guilty pleasure” (The New York Times): irresistibly dramatic, spectacularly timely, explosive in its revelations, and impossible to put down. An “absorbing” (The Atlantic), “engrossing” and “meticulously researched” tale (The Guardian)—brought to life with “novelistic detail” and “considerable narrative skill” (The New York Times)—The Wolves of K Street is essential reading for anyone looking to understand how corporate interests are at play in American democracy.

Fountain Bookstore will be on hand to make The Wolves of K Street available for purchase.

Brody Mullins is a Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter. He spent nearly two decades covering the intersection of business and politics for The Wall Street Journal.
