Stabbing in the Senate
Life is good for Kit Marshall. She's a staffer in D.C. for a popular senator, and she lives with an adoring beagle and a brainy boyfriend with a trust fund. Then, one morning, Kit arrives at the office early and finds her boss, Senator Langsford, impaled by a stainless steel replica of an Army attack helicopter. Panicked, she pulls the weapon out of his chest and instantly becomes the prime suspect in his murder. Circumstances back Kit's claim of innocence, but her photograph has gone viral, and the heat won't be off until the killer is found. Well-loved though the senator was, suspects abound. Langsford had begun to vote with his conscience, which meant he was often at odds with his party. ...
The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents
Although sometimes decried by pundits, George W. Bush’s use of moral and religious rhetoric is far from unique in the American presidency. Throughout history and across party boundaries, presidents have used such appeals, with varying degrees of political success. The Moral Rhetoric of American Presidents astutely analyzes the president’s role as the nation’s moral spokesman. Armed with quantitative methods from political science and the qualitative case study approach prevalent in rhetorical studies, Colleen J. Shogan demonstrates that moral and religious rhetoric is not simply a reflection of individual character or an expression of American “civil religion” but a strategic tool ...

K Street Killing
"As chief of staff for Representative Maeve Dixon, Kit Marshall knows her job is on the line. Dixon faces a tight race for reelection, making her final fund-raiser count more than ever. The event is held at a ritzy rooftop restaurant, but the night ends in tragedy: powerful lobbyist Van Parker plummets from the rooftop to his death. Kit doesn't think Parker jumped. Neither do the police. Nothing tarnishes a reelection campaign like a murder investigation, so Kit must use all her sleuthing skills to help catch the killer. Who wanted the ambitious Parker dead? Apparently lots of people in DC's cutthroat world of lobbying. With the campaign clock ticking, Kit is running out of time. Because whoever killed Parker wants her to stop digging for clues, or she won't just be out of a job - she'll be dead" --Back cover.
