Stabbing in the Senate

This fast, funny mystery series debut set in Washington DC is "a perfect who-done-it from a Capitol Hill insider" (Cathi Stoler, author of The Hard Way).

Life is good for DC staffer Kit Marshall. She works for a popular senator and lives with her adoring beagle and brainy boyfriend with a trust fund. But then Kit arrives at the office one morning to find her boss, Senator Langsford, impaled by a stainless-steel replica of an Army attack helicopter. Panicked, she pulls the weapon out of his chest—and instantly becomes the prime suspect in his murder.

As the media swarms, Kit needs to act fast—and she knows all too well who Langford's enemies are. The beloved senator had recently started voting with his conscience. That put him at odds with his party, as well as a lot of other powerful people who will benefit from his death. Kit's newfound infamy horrifies her boyfriend's upper-crust family, and could even destroy her career. But snooping around to clear her name and unmask the real killer might just end her oh-so-perfect life.

Honored with First Place in the 2016 Indie Book Awards "Mystery" Category, this is a "smart, snappy whodunit that kept me guessing until the end" (Susan Froetschel, award-winning author of Allure of Deceit).
