CAPITOL MURDER by William Bernhardt - SIGNED FIRST EDITION BOOK
See all titles by William Bernhardt.William Bernhardt’s bestselling novels featuring Oklahoma defense
attorney Ben Kincaid capture the bare-knuckles reality of high-stakes
criminal defense, as lofty ideals of justice clash with power,
corruption, and wealth. In Capitol Murder, Bernhardt’s hard-charging
hero takes on his most shocking, headline-making case yet.
Kincaid’s
legal success has earned him a dubious reward: a journey through the
looking glass into the Beltway. Here, in the heart of the nation’s
capital, a powerful U.S. senator has been caught first in a sordid sex
scandal, then in a case of murder.
Senate aide Veronica Cooper
was found in a secret Senate office beneath the Capitol building, on
Senator Todd Glancy’s favorite couch, blood pouring from the knife
wound in her throat. The young woman’s death comes on the heels of the
release of a sordid videotape depicting her and Senator Glancy in
compromising positions.
With the senator’s reputation in
tatters, the evidence against him–as a sexual predator and possibly a
killer–mounts. By the time a nationally televised murder trial begins,
Kincaid and his team know they’re facing the challenge of a lifetime.
According to public opinion, and even in Kincaid’s most private
thoughts, Glancy is one more politician who cannot admit his own
culpability.
But while a dramatic trial unfolds in the
courtroom–loaded with pitfalls, traps, and an astounding
betrayal–another trial is taking place on the mean streets of D.C., as
Kincaid’s investigator pursues a young woman who was a friend of
Veronica Cooper’s, plunging Kincaid into a bizarre world of
Goths, sadomasochists, and a community of self-proclaimed vampires.
Somewhere in this violent underworld lies the secret behind Veronica
Cooper’s demise . . . and the crux of Senator Glancy’s innocence or
guilt.
In a case that pits Kincaid and his freewheeling partner
Christina McCall against the brutal machinery of Washington politics,
the answers they seek are hidden in a murderous maze of lies and hidden
motives. And in William Bernhardt’s best novel yet, getting to the
truth is an unparalleled experience in pure, satisfying suspense.
