A divided caucus. A faithful assistant. And a small plane that has no business being in the air.

Cal Deegan's job is simple: keep the Vermont Senate's narrow majority from tearing itself apart. The problem is that the majority seems determined to do exactly that - split right down the middle over which bill matters more, with both sides convinced they're right and neither willing to blink.Cal is the one who holds the whole fragile thing together: the senator who forgets he has a floor vote, the freshman nobody's managing, the bill that won't behave, the four-thirty-on-a-Friday crisis nobody outside the building woulA divided caucus. A faithful assistant. And a small plane that has no business being in the air.

Cal Deegan's job is simple: keep the Vermont Senate's narrow majority from tearing itself apart. The problem is that the majority seems determined to do exactly that - split right down the middle over which bill matters more, with both sides convinced they're right and neither willing to blink.

Cal is the one who holds the whole fragile thing together: the senator who forgets he has a floor vote, the freshman nobody's managing, the bill that won't behave, the four-thirty-on-a-Friday crisis nobody outside the building would ever understand. He's good at it. He's also exhausted by it.

Through bumpy plane rides, awkward phone calls, and an escalating series of small disasters, Cal and his protégé Connor - finally learning how the building actually works - try to keep a coalition of well-meaning people from handing their session away. Because in the Statehouse, the fight is never really majority against minority. It's everyone who works there against the chaos of the work itself.

Gas or Grass is the second novel in the Cal Deegan Series - sharp, funny, and unmistakably New England. For fans of Veep, The Thick of It, and Parks and Recreation
