Somebody in Washington is updating Shakespeare. The first thing he wants to do is kill all the lobbyists. Knocking off three of them in consecutive weeks, he's off to a fast start. On the lapel of each victim, the killer leaves a pin that, arguably, resembles Porky Pig.The Metro police are on the case when Putnam Shady steps forward and identifies the third victim as a friend. Authority averse, Putnam gives the cops only bare bones information -- but he tells Margaret "Sweetie" Sweeney that he thinks he will be the next victim.The reason, he explains, is quite simple. There are two plans afoot to seize control of the federal government. At the center of one plan is the speaker of the House of Representatives. The group behind the other plan consisted of Putnam and his three dead colleagues.Sweetie vows to protect Putnam. She enlists Jim McGill, the president's henchman, to find out who is behind the murders. But then McGill's whole world is turned upside down. His son, Kenny, is diagnosed with leukemia.President Patricia Grant's life is only slightly less tumultuous. Her enemies force her to leave the Republican Party. Erna Godfrey implicates her husband, Reverend Burke Godfrey, in the killing of Patti's first husband, Andrew Hudson Grant. But Reverend Godfrey refuses to go down without a fight.Amidst the turmoil, Welborn Yates and Kira Fahey schedule their marriage -- and inevitably have to deal with wedding crashers.

Nobody knows the crooked turns, slippery slopes, and dark, dangerous stretches of the Beltway better than Margaret Truman, dean of the Washington, D.C., mystery scene. And no one is better equipped to lead a suspenseful tour into the treacherous territory of big-time political lobbying, where the right information and enough influence can buy power–the kind that corrupts . . . and sometimes kills. Arriving home from a fund-raising dinner, senior Illinois senator Lyle Simmons discovers his wife’s brutally bludgeoned body. And like any savvy politician with presidential aspirations, his first move is to phone his attorney. In this case, it’s his old friend and college roommate, former DA Philip Rotondi, who gamely agrees to step out of quiet retirement and into the thick of a D.C.-style political, criminal, and public relations maelstrom from which no one will escape unscathed. The crime scene is barely cold when the senator’s estranged daughter arrives hurling shocking allegations of murder at her father, despite a roomful of well-heeled witnesses who can provide Simmons with an alibi. Meanwhile, D.C.’s rumor mills and spin machines shift into high gear as speculation swirls around a tabloid- and TV-ready prime suspect: Jonell Marbury, a dashing lawyer turned lobbyist at a powerful K Street firm–and the last person to see the victim alive. But Rotondi harbors his own unsettling suspicions. And after a second woman is killed, he discovers that a long-buried secret from his past may hold the key to cracking the case. Aided by sleuthing ex-attorneys Mac and Annabel Smith, Rotondi reawakens the prosecutorial skills that served him so well in his gang-busting days, following the stench of dirty money and dirtier tricks across the country and across the thresholds of back rooms and front offices alike–where doing the right thing is for fools and taking on the system is a dead man’s gambit.

"As chief of staff for Representative Maeve Dixon, Kit Marshall knows her job is on the line. Dixon faces a tight race for reelection, making her final fund-raiser count more than ever. The event is held at a ritzy rooftop restaurant, but the night ends in tragedy: powerful lobbyist Van Parker plummets from the rooftop to his death. Kit doesn't think Parker jumped. Neither do the police. Nothing tarnishes a reelection campaign like a murder investigation, so Kit must use all her sleuthing skills to help catch the killer. Who wanted the ambitious Parker dead? Apparently lots of people in DC's cutthroat world of lobbying. With the campaign clock ticking, Kit is running out of time. Because whoever killed Parker wants her to stop digging for clues, or she won't just be out of a job - she'll be dead" --Back cover.

This is a "fun but deadly" story, about East Coast Irish Twins, who worked for J..Edgar Hoover. The protagonist, JAMES "BLACKIE" BUTLER, is from Boston and did his undergraduate work robbing banks, with a degree for ten years, three of which were served on the ROCK! Then back home, took over the Winter Hill Gang. An old buddy from school, who became an FBI Agent, told him the FBI was hiring TEI's. So they cut a deal that turned devastating for both! For starters, they needed his help to break the North Boston LCN Italian Mob. Before the Appalachian Meet, the Bureau said - No National Crime Syndicate, next day - JEH started the Top Hoodlum Program in all FBI Offices in USA. They had to take care not to knock off a Race Track, when the boss was in attendance, "don't embarrass the Bureau". While they did not have a parade for BLACKIE, all soon learned "he was back in town" ! He worked overtime to become multi-millionaire Boston Drug Kingpin, whacking those who dared to get in his way. If you want whack job details, check out the press accounts under homicide. CAUTION - he is alleged to have whacked 19 PLUS - two were females he strangled to death! Not the guy you want your daughter to date. Some of the kills were aided by the law closing their eyes. A major casualty was the Boston Southie kids and young adults. They OD'd, became vegetables, committed suicide, due to the quantities ingested of Meth, Coke, etc., as the dealers said - "it was their choice"! Unfortunately this scenario goes hand and hand with hard - tough law enforcement, and some "agency in-fighting", in the race to scrape up the scum from the Southie streets, and its "companion - corruption"! Meanwhile, the press was on it regarding the homicides, real bodies and real coroner reports. BUT, no specific in depth reporting on the drug scourge. Without it, we focus on homicides, easier to cover with those grotesque images as they are ripped from the earth that they hugged for years. Then the mob burial detail told the cops where they were as a trade for immunity! Not to say that some in-depth work on the drug scourge is easy, BUT the more we do not dig into it, the more we guarantee it will continue! Yes, it is the USA drug appetite that fuels the Mexican production and distribution. Mexico has had thousands of street executions in last 15 years; all USA families have, or know those who have young loved ones, who got hooked and we attended their funerals! The Congress and the Administration needs to get off their collective asses and address the problem. The drug war losses cap the numbers we lost since the BIG WAR plus! For the DC crowd, they would rather focus on cocktail parties funded by the numerous lobbyists that choke the traffic on K St, NW, employ aides that write 1,000 page bills that no one reads before voting, none of them took the time from there career to serve the country in the military (just like their elected pols they work for), as they beef up the resume so we soon see them on the Sunday Morning Talkies. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? MARK - THERE ,I SAID IT! The nemesis, is TOMMY TIERNAN, from Newark, NJ, from a blue collar upbringing, other side of the tracks, first of five siblings, first of parents, siblings and relatives to do college, no green stamps, just guts and determination!. As oldest of five boys, thanks to the Pope, started with fish on Fridays, as got older substituted it with Pizza. Dad an Irish Fire Captain, Mom a German grade school teacher and nurse. Grandfather an immigrant from Germany, a stone carver who did the Lions on the N.Y. Public Library. The five brothers lived in the Ironbound Section of "down neck" Newark, N.J. After the BIG WAR, they were joined by Mom's brother who lived through the Pacific War, finishing up with the invasion of Okinawa, where he survived constant Jap kamikaze attacks. All shared the same sleeping bedroom and pretty mu

Ron Ketchum saw his share of the dark side of life as a cop in Los Angeles. Then he left L.A. to become the chief of police in the Sierra Nevada resort town of Goldstrike. One sunny morning in the mountains, though, he comes upon a crime unlike anything he's ever seen before. He finds the body of an African American man nailed to a tree. The victim is a highly respected minister, and his father is the nationally known televangelist Jimmy Thunder. Ron, on the other hand, has described himself in court as a recovering bigot. Goldstrike's mayor for life and movie icon, Clay Steadman, wants Ron to catch the killer fast. Adding to the pressure, the victim's grandmother comes to town. She tells the media mob that has descended on Goldstrike that God will curse the town until the killer is caught. That's when a rogue mountain lion begins attacking people. At first, the attacks happen on the wilderness outskirts of Goldstrike. Then the predator moves into town, leaping a fence into a family's backyard. Finally, it turns the tables on one of the hunters sent out to bring it down. Looking for a killer, hunting a lion and defending his own integrity -- makes being a cop in L.A. seem like the good old days.

Out for a day's adventure exploring the dry bed of Lake Travis in Austin, Texas, two young boys stumble upon a skeleton. It might be all that remains of a fugitive named Randy Bear Heart. Wanted for robbing three banks and killing three cops, Bear Heart was never brought to justice.The FBI is called on to determine how the outlaw avoided arrest for twenty-five years and who put him in the lake wearing chains. The BIA -- Bureau of Indian Affairs -- gets the very same job. Special Agent John Tall Wolf is put on the case because one of the dead cops was a Native American who worked at the Mercy Ridge Reservation.The FBI wants John to "coordinate all your efforts" through SAC Gilbert Melvin. John is having none of that, saying, "I'll conduct my investigation as I see fit." He doesn't even get along with his own boss, Marlene Flower Moon, head of the BIA's Office of Justice Services.While interviewing John for his job, Marlene was amused by his assertiveness, and asked him, "What do you want, a license to take scalps?" John said, "Yeah, that'd be good."
