Murder in the Supreme Court (Capital Crimes Series Book 3)

â€œTrumanâ€™s hints as to the real state of Washington are terrifying if true.â€ â€”Chicago Sun-Times

When Clarence Sutherland, Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court, is found dead, Lieutenant Martin Teller of the Washington Police and Susanna Pincher of the Justice Department are pulled together to find the killer.

What they learn is that the Supreme Court is not the bastion of ethical justice that it is thought to be. Behind the scenes lies the scandal and political maneuvering found in most Washington institutions. The case is complicatedâ€”a half-dozen suspects are acquired, some shockingly from the Supreme Court itself. It turns out that the Chief Clerk of the Supreme Court had a lot of confidential information on important people, and any one of them could be responsible for his death. But one startling clue seems to implicate the high court itself: Sutherland was found slumped over in the Chief Justiceâ€™s chair. Did Sutherland have information that the top judge, and perhaps even the president himself, didnâ€™t want revealed? Teller and Pincher intend to find out, and in the process, find each other.

Daughter of President Harry Truman, Margaret Truman is an expert at depicting the details of life inside the beltway. Murder in the Supreme Court, Trumanâ€™s third book in her popular Capital Crimes series, provides an intriguing peek into the world of Washingtonâ€™s powerful justice system.

About the Author

Margaret Truman, the only child of President Harry Truman (33rd President of the United States), was born in Independence, Missouri and spent her early years between Missouri and Washington, DC, where her father had become a senator. Upon the death of Franklin Roosevelt, Truman assumed the presidency and the young Margaret moved to the White House. From there it was on to George Washington University and a Bachelors of Arts degree.

After college, she pursued her interest and talent in singing and from the late 1940s into the early 1950s she performed around the world, as well as on radio and television shows. Her singing career received mixed reviews, but nonetheless was followed closely by the media in her day. Truman remained in the public eye when she went on to become one of the first women to be part of the then fledgling morning news and entertainment shows, paired with Mike Wallace on NBCâ€™s show Monitor in 1955.

She began her writing career in 1956 with her first book, Souvenir, Margaret Truman's Own Story. The autobiography was followed by several works of nonfiction including books about her father, her mother, Bess Truman, and several books focusing on the history of the White House and its previous inhabitants, including former pets of White House families. In 1980, with the release of Murder in the White House, Truman began her foray into the world of fiction, which would continue for the rest of her life. Her Capital Crimes series remains popular with a whole new generation of readers who are intrigued by behind-the-scenes pictures of the political process.

A prolific writer in both the fiction and nonfiction genres, Truman has written a total of thirty-five books and is today a truly popular American writer.

Margaret Truman died in 2008 at the age of 83.
