Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Instead of using an actual D.C. locale, Truman sets her solid 21st mystery (after 2004's Murder at Union Station) at the fictional Washington Tribune, not to be confused with any actual newspaper. When two young, attractive female media professionals, one a Tribune employee, are murdered, veteran crime reporter Joe Wilcox, who's been feeling the heat from his boss, senses a chance to improve his position by theorizing that a serial killer is at work. To complicate matters, Joe's brother, Michael, who was long ago institutionalized for killing a young girl, arrives in town and begins to insinuate himself back into Joe's life. Joe's daughter, Roberta, an up-and-coming local TV newscaster, competes for scoops as more mayhem follows. Truman works hard to put all the pieces together, and though it's not her most plausible puzzle, she delivers a satisfying resolution to what becomes a cautionary tale about ambition and a vote for journalistic integrity.

From AudioFile
With an insider's knowledge of politics and publishing, a former president's daughter spins a sinister story of the murders of two young women in the media. In Margaret Truman's 21st Capital Crimes mystery, veteran TRIBUNE reporter Joe Wilcox, whose long career is faltering, is determined to find the killer, who may very well be his psychotic brother. It's not the plot that drives this edge-of-the-seat thriller; it's narrator Dick Hill's superb portrayals of the characters, particularly Joe Wilcox, who is driven, determined, and terrified of the danger in which he is placing his daughter, a TV newscaster. Hill's blend of intensity, intimate emotions, over-the-hill male bravado, and logical sleuthing makes this compelling entertainment.
