Description

Murder at the Pentagon (Capital Crimes Series, Book #11) by Margaret Truman A genius doctor is murdered, and a desert madman gains the means to kill millions. These two explosive events ultimately draw Major Margit Falk, a helicopter pilot and Pentagon lawyer, into a maelstrom of betrayal, deceit, and danger -- and straight into the heart of the Pentagon's most precarious pet project. It is called Project Safekeep, an antimissile scheme under congressional investigation. Its chief engineer was the murder victim. The alleged murderer, and Falk's client, is a senior CIA officer and alleged homosexual. The smell of conspiracy is in the air, as Falk calls on her mentor, law professor Mackensie Smith, for help. But it might already be too late -- because what Falk is smelling might not be a conspiracy. It might be nuclear fallout. Ballantine Books, Softcover, 1992

About the author

Margaret Truman won faithful readers with her works of biography and fiction, particularly her ongoing series of Capital Crimes mysteries. Her novels let us into the corridors of power and privilege, and poverty and pageantry, in the nation's capital. She was the author of many nonfiction books, including The President's House, in which she shares some of the secrets and history of the White House where she once resided. Truman lived in Manhattan and passed away in 2008.
