About This Item

Murder in the White House (Capital Crimes Series, Book #1) by Margaret Truman

In a town where the weapon of choice is usually a well-aimed rumor, the strangling of Secretary of State Lansard Blaine in the Lincoln Bedroom is a gruesome first. White House counsel Ron Fairbanks is ordered to investigate. There are persistent rumors that the Secretary was an accomplished womanizer with ties to a glamorous call girl. There is also troubling evidence of unofficial connections with international wheeler-dealers.

In death as in life, Blaine is a power to be reckoned with. For Fairbanks, who loves the president's daughter, on point is soon clear: only a few highly placed insiders had access to the Lincoln Bedroom that fateful evening. And one of them was the president.

William Morrow, Softcover, 1980

Reviews

On Mar 2 2008, Irmocrone said:
This was Margaret Truman's first mystery novel. It was well written, with believeable characters and good plot twists. I clearly reflects her knowledge of Washington DC workings, and accurately reflects to tenor of the time in which it was set. Like Dickens, Truman's writing gives an insight into parts of society we would prefer not to know.
