Suspense | Thriller Legal
William Bernhardt's bestselling novels featuring
Oklahoma defense attorney Ben Kincaid capture the bare-
knuckles reality of high-stakes criminal defense, as lofty
ideals of justice clash with power, corruption, and wealth.
In Capitol Murder, Bernhardt's hard-charging hero takes on
his most shocking, headline-making case yet. Kincaid's legal success has earned him a dubious reward: a
journey through the looking glass into the Beltway. Here,
in the heart of the nation's capital, a powerful U.S.
senator has been caught first in a sordid sex scandal, then
in a case of murder. Senate aide Veronica Cooper was found in a secret Senate
office beneath the Capitol building, on Senator Todd
Glancy's favorite couch, blood pouring from the knife wound
in her throat. The young woman's death comes on the heels
of the release of a sordid videotape depicting her and
Senator Glancy in compromising positions. With the senator's reputation in tatters, the evidence
against him–as a sexual predator and possibly a killer–
mounts. By the time a nationally televised murder trial
begins, Kincaid and his team know they're facing the
challenge of a lifetime. According to public opinion, and
even in Kincaid's most private thoughts, Glancy is one more
politician who cannot admit his own culpability. But while a dramatic trial unfolds in the courtroom–loaded
with pitfalls, traps, and an astounding betrayal–another
trial is taking place on the mean streets of D.C., as
Kincaid's investigator pursues a young woman who was a
friend of Veronica Cooper's, plunging Kincaid into a
bizarre world of Goths, sadomasochists, and a community of
self-proclaimed vampires. Somewhere in this violent
underworld lies the secret behind Veronica Cooper's
demise . . . and the crux of Senator Glancy's innocence or
guilt. In a case that pits Kincaid and his freewheeling partner
Christina McCall against the brutal machinery of Washington
politics, the answers they seek are hidden in a murderous
maze of lies and hidden motives. And in William Bernhardt's
best novel yet, getting to the truth is an unparalleled
experience in pure, satisfying suspense.
