Margaret Truman's final 'Capital' mystery is revealing [View All]

[emad]

Margaret Truman, daughter of the 33rd president of the United States, Harry Truman, was a very fine writer. She died in January 2008, at 83, after completing the manuscript we are discussing today, and just prior to its publication. Her three sons, Clifton Truman Daniel, Harrison Gates Daniel and Thomas Washington Daniel, wrote the dedication to their mother.

"Murder Inside the Beltway," was the 24th book in her Capital Crimes Series, plus she had authored 10 other books, biographies of both of her parents.

--------------------------------


This is the story of the D.C. police and an undercover look at the sleazebags in the political world. The story is unsettling and is so realistic to what is going on today in Chicago that it keeps you riveted to your chair.

Will the Chicago story turn out the way Truman has predicted in her murder mystery? Will the sleazebags, the bosses, turn state's evidence against the other corrupt leaders? We will see how this political scene turns out in what Truman calls "ways to beat the cops." The author surely knows the inside story and though she uses fictional names, you can guickly figure out the characters.
