Capitol Secrets

US Congresswoman Laura Christen is attempting to become the first Independent woman Speaker of the American Congress, despite all the opposition thrown at her by the male members of Congress and people of both political parties. A campaign of hate mail filled with slurs, allegations of drug connections and the claim that she abandoned an illegitimate baby, appears in the gutter press and is sent to the parties opposing her election. A very complicated plot unfolds with murder, attempted blackmail and the unleashing of a powerful, mind bending drug by a company with whom she was connected years previously, surfacing. It's an entertaining read, full of the back stabbing nasty bits that we are all too well aware, must go on in the political field.
