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. . . .
I have read all of Margaret Truman's books and she is one of my favorite authors. All of her books are set in Washington D.C. and are set in many of the historical landmarks. If you love mystery and love history, you will LOVE this book.
Fantastic and fast page turning novel

This is the second of 24 Capitol Crimes novels that Margaret Truman wrote, and the fourth one that I read. I have recently completed acuqiring the entire collection and look forward to reading them all. This book keeps the reader in suspense and makes them want to keep reading, and turning the pages until the very suspenseful ending to find out who killed the victim.
