Murder on Embassy Row by Margaret Truman

Murder on Embassy Row by Margaret Truman

"Truman gains in confidence and expertise with each book, and this is the best yet." --New York Times Book Review

A police investigation into the murder of a British Ambassador uncovers a web of international intrigue in this fifth novel in Margaret Truman's bestselling Capital Crimes series.

Ambassador Geoffrey James might be a British citizen, but when he dies on the night of a gala party, it's up to Captain Sal Morizio of Washington's Metropolitan Police Department to investigate. Despite orders to desist, Morizio and his lady love, fellow officer Connie Lake, know too much.

And what they learn on an international search for missing clues tells them a lot about corruption in high places--and the effects of caviar on otherwise rational people. . . .

MARGARET TRUMAN won faithful readers with her works of biography and fiction, particularly her Capital Crimes mysteries. Her novels let readers 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 shared some of the secrets and history of the White House, where she once resided. She lived in Manhattan.
DONALD BAIN, the author of 115 books, including forty of the bestselling Murder, She Wrote novels, was a longtime friend of Margaret Truman. He worked closely with her on her novels, and more than anyone understood the spirit and substance of her books.
