| Publisher Description: Terrifically readable. ... Wildly imaginative. --New York Daily News A lawyer with ties to the President must investigate the murder of the Secretary of State under mysterious circumstances, in this first book in Margaret Truman's New York Times bestselling Capital Crimes series. In a town where the weapon of choice is usually a well-aimed rumor, the strangling of Secretary of State Lansard Blaine in the Lincoln Bedroom is a gruesome first. White House counsel Ron Fairbanks is ordered to investigate. There are persistent rumors that the Secretary was an accomplished womanizer with ties to a glamorous call girl. There is also troubling evidence of unofficial connections with international wheeler-dealers. In death as in life, Blaine is a power to be reckoned with. For Fairbanks, who loves the President's daughter, one point is soon clear: only a few highly placed insiders had access to the Lincoln Bedroom that fateful evening. And one of them was the President. . . . |
