Two special agents investigate the mysterious death of an FBI agent, only to find themselves caught in a web of incriminating Bureau secrets, in this sixth book in Margaret Truman's nationally bestselling Capital Crimes series.

"Part mystery, part conspiracy-melodrama, and part gothicky romance: one of Truman's livelier Washington concoctions." -- Kirkus Reviews

When the body of special FBI agent George Pritchard is found hanging behind the target at the Bureau's firing range, foul play is immediately suspected. Though Pritchard was no one's favorite at the Bureau, the FBI does not like to be embarrassed, and a special investigation is ordered. Ross Lizenby and Christine Saksis are assigned to the case. As their search for answers gets underway, it soon becomes apparent to Ross and Christine that the Bureau is hiding something. But would they go so far as to murder one of their own to keep their secrets buried?

Refusing to back down, Ross and Christine continue to investigate. But their quest for the truth is complicated when they become romantically involved. And when Christine stumbles upon more incriminating evidence, she must decide whether her loyalties should lie with the Bureau--or with the truth.
