Murder at the FBI by Margaret Truman (1985, Hardcover)

Murder at the FBI
by Margaret Truman
Publisher:  Arbor House
Copyright 1985

It's J. Edgar Hoover's FBI -- and it will never be the same now that Margaret Truman has penetrated it as a setting for this, the latest in her best-selling series of gripping, powerfully authentic novels of suspense set in the milieu of Washington, D.C.

The victim is found on the FBI firing range as two hundred tourists gape in stunned disbelief.  The corpse is one of the FBI's own agents, which makes it doubly embarrassing for the Bureau.

Ross Lizenby, a handsome, enigmatic loner, and Christine Saksis, a beautiful half-Passamaquoddy Indian from Maine, are the two special agents assigned to the case, and they pursue their investigation while trying to keep their love affair on an even keel.  Their search takes them from Arizona, where the dead man's unit has been investigating a series of grisly serial murders, to New York's deluxe hotels and restaurants, and to Fire Island's gay community where a best-selling author has gone a little too far in researching his latest muckraking book.

The love affair between Saksis and Lizenby, forbidden by FBI rules, becomes strained even further by the appearance of Chris's former lover.  He helps her put some very important pieces together which will provide a solution to the puzzle -- a solution so shocking it might reveal an FBI more ominously flawed than even its most vituperative enemies could hope for.

Once again, Margaret Truman has not only spun an intriguing and engrossing tale of betrayal and greed, bureaucratic face-saving and love, but takes us inside, deep inside, another revered Washington institution where ideals often prove loftier than the individuals charged with maintaining them.
