Carpathian, whom Gaunt knows as Crayne, hires Grimjack to be his bodyguard and campaign manager when he runs for office. Crayne joined the race days before Election Day. Horace D. Orkmundt, his only serious competition is a guy whom Crayne hired himself. Things don’t go exactly as Crayne envisioned when first Orkmundt tries to have him killed and then the unexpected happens when Crayne wins the election.

Crayne winds up faking his own death in order avoid having to serve the people of Cynosure as their Chief Associate Clerk, Intergovernmental Files. 

Thoughts

This is a decent story. I like the flavor but it didn't blow me away.
