Prewitt, a former private-prison lobbyist and state corrections commissioner, testified as a government witness against former state Rep. Tom Anderson, who was convicted on corruption charges last year. Prewitt served as an informant in the FBI's probes into political shenanigans in Juneau a few years ago.
The book is hitting stores now, even though the corruption investigation isn't over yet. Here's how the book is described:
The Department of Justice is entering its sixth year investigating and prosecuting one of the biggest cases of political corruption in U.S. history. At issue is the high stakes game of taxing and developing an Alaska gas pipeline and the toxic slick of political corruption that coated the process. Wired for light and sound, the author embarks on an incredible journey into the undercover world of FBI surveillance and the corroding influence of special interest, money and power.
Last Bridge To Nowhere is a disturbingly humorous tale that exposes the underside of power politics, offering thoughtful observations on character, responsibility and public trust. But the pages turn more like a season special of Desperate Housewives Go To Washington: political intrigue and provocative crime, tossed and served in a delicious wrap of irreverence.
You'll laugh, you may even cry, but you don't want to miss this book.
