A Washington, DC, reporter follows a deadly trail straight into the halls of power in this thrilling mystery by the author of Corruption of Justice.
After risking her life to solve a murder, Washington News reporter Sutton McPhee is assigned to cover the Fairfax County police. And it’s not long before her new beat yields a bona fide scandal: The dead body of a top Senate aid is discovered in the DC suburb, naked and wrapped in a sheet. The young woman died of a drug overdose, but it doesn’t take ace reporting skills to know someone else was involved.
As Sutton works her sources and clashes with a new detective, police are called to the scene of another high-profile death: the murder of a Fairfax county supervisor’s wheelchair-bound wife. Sutton suspects the two cases are related. But the more she follows her hunches, the more they lead to powerful individuals who would do anything to keep their crimes a secret.
