What do you get when you mix a powerful state senator and a beautiful young intern? The perfect setting for murder. Political intrigue and a gruesome killing set the stage for "Capitol Crimes", this season's newest thriller from first time author K.L. Spangler.
Law school gradute Melissa Walker had a bright future in front of her. With the ink still drying on her degree and an internship with a powerful state senator, she was going places. Nobody expected her to wind up dead in the middle of the Oregon State Capitol Building, least of all Salem homicide detective Jack Davis.
Detective Davis hates killers -- almost as much as bureaucrats. This murder reeks of both, and before long the cynical detective finds himself tied up in a distasteful web of lies, political cover-up and government espionage.
When the senator flees to Bogota, Columbia, all fingers are pointing at him. However, as Jack and his partner, Eva Tolento, follow the trail of evidence they quickly discover that everything is not as it appears. The search for the truth of what really happened leads Jack and Eva into the heart of Zuni, New Mexico and the doorstep of an Indian shaman who knows a lot more than he's letting on.
Returning to Oregon, Jack and Eva discover that the investigation has taken some interesting and unexpected turns -- and the two of them might not be the hunters anymore.
The word is, there's another book in the works for Detective Jack Davis and his lovely partner. "I've received very positive feedback about Capitol Crimes," says Spangler. "So, if the the book does well, you'll be seeing more books featuring ol' Jack."
