Editorial Reviews

While performing a routine background check on a potential Secretary of State, freelance researcher Tom Bethany turns up information on the man's murdered runaway daughter, an alleged whore and drug fiend. PW called this a ``realistic, sharply penned mystery'' with a ``riveting, unpredictable resolution.'' (Nov.)

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's Weekly

Tom Bethany, security consultant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, narrates this commendable first mystery about a wealthy professor hoping to become the next Secretary of State. Hired to research the man's background for any hint of scandal, Bethany can find nothing wrong until he looks into the unsolved murder of the professor's wayward daughter. The more involved he becomes with the case, the more he realizes that the police fumbled their investigation. Bethany, a Vietnam veteran who distrusts government, is a sturdy and methodical--if somewhat unorthodox--protagonist made human by his love for a married woman. Solid procedure, realistic environment, interesting-if-unspectacular plot recommend this to most collections.
