Two violent deaths, a brazen corporate scheme to protect profits, and an unwitting young couple drawn into a search for answers, collide in a story of Washington - the forces that drive political decisions, the people who walk the corridors of power, and the greed, deception and ruthlessness often at work behind the marble facade. At once a compelling mystery and richly informed portrayal of life in the nation's capital, "Fatal Amendment" is a novel that reward on several levels.
