Murder on Capitol Hill: A Capital Crimes Novel
Description
"Bright, witty, and full of Washington insider insight." —Houston Chronicle
A D.C. attorney is drawn into a web of deadly intrigue while investigating the death of a powerful Senator, in this thrilling second book in Margaret Truman's nationally bestselling Capital Crimes series.
Between them, Senator Cale Caldwell and his blue-blooded wife controlled as much power on Capitol Hill as the law would allow. Sadly, it wasn't sufficient to protect him from a killer, even surrounded by his friends at a champagne reception in his honor.
The senator's murder wasn't the family's first brush with violence. Only two years ago, a niece had been murdered, her killer never found. But when attorney Lydia James, counsel to a Senate committee investigating the tragedy, suggests there might be a connection between the two deaths, she's voted down fast. Yet strange rumors persist. The senator's death could benefit many people, among them a bitter political adversary, an ambitious talk show host, and a master of spin who makes even murder look good . . .
