Six feet two inches tall, or you might say long since he’d been placed on his back in an alley with bare feet pointing into the night air, shadows of a dark beard on chalk white skin, blue eyes, jet-black wavy hair, arms folded across his chest, and necktie neatly knotted. The young man was as handsome as he was dead.
And so begins the mystery that will leave readers guessing until the very end. Even Julia Gold, the detective who refused to believe the death of the reporter found in the Chicago alley was a random murder, didn’t expect her investigation to lead her to the Supreme Court in Washington and have ties to some of the most powerful people in the government. When she teams up with Kate Stevens, a law clerk, and on occasion Kate’s fiancé, Gordon Cox, a complex web of half-truths begins to unravel. The second installment of Jay Lillie’s Washington Trilogy is an adventure that will render any reader incapable of putting it down.
