Worst Case Scenario: A Washington, D.C. MysteryForeign Service veteran Richard Michaelson is more than familiar with the politics of politics. Instead of going to the secretary of state, it's often better to talk to the secretary's secretaries, the aides who know the nitty-gritty details of governing. But when one such underling turns up dead at a conference Michaelson is attending, he gets the feeling she knew one detail too many - a detail that is somehow connected to him. Soon investigators, White House staffers, and interagency liaisons are coming out from behind every Greek Revival column in the city to keep this secret - and everyone who knows it - under wraps. Solving the mystery might be more than a good career move: it might be a lifesaver. |
