Now the idealistic junior senator is plunged into the thick of lethal intrigue when a shocking campaign of terror against key government officials rocks the nation’s capital.The nightmare begins with the abduction and murder of the director of Homeland Security; escalates with the killing of the Senate minority leader who is felled in his office by an envelope laced with weaponized poison; and comes to a shattering climax at the site of the Oklahoma City Memorial where a fusillade of sniper fire meant for the president claims unintended victims. In all twelve people perish in the melee while Ben himself narrowly escapes a car-bomb blast that leaves his best friend Tulsa cop Mike Morelli comatose. But the smoke has barely cleared when the stunned nation is sent reeling yet again by the president’s impassioned call to amend the U.S. Constitution with an antiterrorism law that would drastically curtail civil liberties.It’s a hot-button issue guaranteed to bitterly divide the Beltway and the country. The chief executive has handpicked Ben to help harvest the support that will make the amendment a reality. Shaken by the carnage Ben embraces the president’s radical cause and alongside unlikely new political allies he takes the battle for the controversial bill to the Senate floor. But he can’t ignore his growing suspicion that what’s haunting Capitol Hill isn’t the specter of foreign terrorism but something much closer to home. Now with his ever-resourceful chief of staff–his wife Christina–and along with his support team backing his play Ben sets squares off against what could be the most dangerous Goliath he’s ever challenged.Capitol Conspiracy is a bravura William Bernhardt performance–bursting into action on the very first page and crackling with breathless suspense sharp wit crafty twists and timely thrills clear through to the last.</p> Ballantine Books hardcover

Ballantine Books 1997. Hardcover. New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> William Bernhardt</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Ballantine Books</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9780345386854</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 1997</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 406</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> William Bernhardt the attorney-turned-writer who burst on the literary scene with Primary Justice is back with the most suspenseful most entertaining most surprising novel of his career.Wallace Barrett was a college football hero who went on to become mayor of Tulsa--the city's first black mayor in fact. But when Barrett's wife and two young daughters are found gruesomely murdered no one doubts for an instant that he's guilty. The mayor after all was seen splattered with blood and fleeing his house immediately after the crime. The entire country watched on television as Barrett sped away from the police and smashed his car into a brick wall. With evidence like this it's going to take one hell of a lawyer to get Wallace Barrett off. That's why Barrett hires Ben Kincaid. Kincaid may not be the slickest attorney in Tulsa but as he has proven time and again he's got a knack for pulling off the impossible.Impossible never looked so tough. Kincaid anticipated that the trial was going to be an uphill fight all the way--but he wasn't bargaining on outright disaster. The media seem obsessed with the case as crack prosecutor Jack Bullock Kincaid's former partner and now his sworn enemy brings in a parade of expert witnesses--a DNA analyst a blood expert a medical examiner--all of whom establish beyond a doubt that Barrett was present at the crime scene. Then Bullock clinches the case by springing a surprise witness with particularly damning testimony. Ben Kincaid knows it's going to take a miracle to save this trial. A miracle that can happen only if he puts Wallace Barrett on the stand. . . .As the trial progresses new revelations explode like firecrackers sending shock waves through the city's legal and political establishment. And even as the trial draws to a close Ben uncovers shocking secrets that precipitously tilt the scales of justice. Smart stylish and engrossing from first page to last Naked Justice is a virtuoso performance by an absolute master of his art.</p> Ballantine Books hardcover
