House Of Cards by Michael Dobbs

The Manchurian Candidate by Richard Condon
A seminal classic that’s influence has stretched throughout tv, literature, and film. This heavily psychological tale of assassination and control will have you questioning reality at each and every new turn.
The Constant Gardner by John Le Carre
Le Carre was the master of political fiction in all of its forms, crafting intrigue and character-driven narratives that also eschewed easy reading and black and white morality in favor of something far more reflective of geopolitical reality. In this classic, he centers around a protagonist catapulted into the political arena by tragic circumstances, and victim to plotting from multiple sides, desperate to get to the truth.
