During a gala benefit for the Democratic party’s hottest presidential hopeful at the glittering Kennedy Center, a young woman dies a brutal death. The dynamic campaign of Senator Kenneth Ewald has collided with a tragedy that can send his son to jail—and wreck his own career.
George Washington University law professor Mac Smith comes out of the classroom to tackle this case, marching straight into the firing line of an unscrupulous TV evangelist who gets his orders from God and a dethroned Central American dictator who takes interference from no one.
“An exciting romp through the maze of Washington politics.”
—The Dallas Morning News
MURDER AT THE PENTAGON
The chief engineer on Project Safekeep, an antimissile system under contract to the Pentagon, is murdered and a senior CIA official is accused of the crime. Major Margit Falk is a combat pilot and a lawyer with little trial experience who must defend the man accused of murder in the Pentagon. The closer Margit comes to the truth, the more she realizes that her career, her love of the military, and her life are in dire jeopardy.
“Margaret Truman has become a first-rate mystery writer.”

MURDER IN THE SMITHSONIAN
Heather McBean came from Scotland to Washington to find out who murdered her fiancé, Dr. Lewis Tunney. It had happened during a glittering black-tie affair at the Smithsonian. Dr. Tunney, a brilliant historian, had stumbled onto an international art scandal and was brutally murdered in front of two hundred guests.
Captain Mike Hanrahan, who was in charge of the case, developed a special feeling for Heather. He knew she was in danger, and above all he wanted to keep her safe.
When suddenly there are two more murders, Hanrahan is decidedly worried. But Heather is very stubborn and insists on going her own way—right into the arms of a killer.
“Nonstop action and a brilliantly evocative setting make this another winner.”
—Booklist
MURDER AT THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL
Murder didn’t stop Mac Smith and Annabel Reed from falling in love, or from getting married at the glorious church on the hill in Washington, D.C., the National Cathedral. But the brutal murder of a friend drags them from their newlywed bliss into an unholy web of intrigue and danger.
The body is found in the cathedral. There are scant clues and no suspects. And to further complicate matters, a parallel crime is committed at a church in England’s Cotswolds, where the honeymooners have recently been visitors. Across the sea go the Smiths again, and straight into the center of an ungodly plot of secret agents, a playboy priest, a frustrated lover, and a murder so perfect it’s a sin.
“A vigorous tale of twists and turns … An authentic thriller.”
