Senator Cale Caldwell and his wife maintained a far-reaching and powerful grip on Capitol Hill society—but not powerful enough to save him from foul play. Despite his eminence and influence, the Senator’s life is cut short in brutal fashion at a glamorous reception held in his honor, just two short years after tragedy struck the Caldwell family in the form of the unsolved murder of his niece. When attorney Lydia James suggests a connection between the two deaths, she’s shut down, and fast. But who stands to benefit from the Caldwell’s tragedies, and James’ silence? The Senator’s political rivals? The media? The Caldwells’ closest allies? Working with a dizzying number of suspects and possible motives, James embarks on a hunt for the Caldwell killer amidst a web of Washington intrigue and political maneuvering that’s sure to leave no stone unturned—or life unthreatened. Murder on Capitol Hill is the second book in the popular Capital Crimes mystery series, preceded by Murder in the White House. The enduring Capital Crimes series, published between 1980 and 2011, contains twenty-five titles, all set in and around Washington, D.C. As the daughter of President Harry S. Truman, Margaret Truman is uniquely positioned to bring this fascinating city to life.
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 was 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 in History. 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 NBC’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. Murder on Capitol Hill (Capital Crimes Book 2), by Margaret Truman- Amazon Sales Rank: #64393 in eBooks

Review “BRIGHT, WITTY, [AND] FULL OF WASHINGTON INSIDER INSIGHT.”–Houston Chronicle“SHE’S UP TO THE MINUTE. AND SHE’S GOOD.”–Associated Press
From the Inside Flap Between them, Senator Cale Caldwell and his blue-blooded wife controlled as much power on Capitol Hill as the law would allow. Sadly, it wasn?t sufficient to protect him from a killer, even surrounded by his friends at a champagne reception in his honor.The senator?s murder wasn?t the family?s first brush with violence. Only two years ago, a niece had been murdered, her killer never found. But when attorney Lydia James, counsel to a senate committee investigating the tragedy, suggests there might be a connection between the two deaths, she?s voted down fast. Yet strange rumors persist. The senator?s death could benefit many people, among them a bitter political adversary, an ambitious talk show host, and a master of spin who makes even murder lookgood. . . .
About the Author Margaret Truman has won faithful readers with her works of biography and fiction, particularly her ongoing series of Capital Crimes mysteries. Her novels let us into the corridors of power and privilege, poverty and pageantry in the nation’s capital. She lives in Manhattan.

Margaret Truman -- The best of celebrity mysteries By Tony Adams None of Margaret Truman's mysteries rise to the level of the greatest mystery writers, but they are clearly the best of the celebrity mysteries and show a real understanding of Washington and politics.
13 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Predictable By Richard R The second in Margaret Truman's "Murder in Washington" series is better than the first. In "Murder on Capitol Hill" Truman has a surer grasp of character and plot than in "Murder in the White House", but her research is still done from memory and the story is predictable. Senator Cale Caldwell is murdered at a party, leaving readers a finite number of suspects as heroine lawyer Lydia James leads the investigation. Truman gives us an interesting and well-drawn array of suspects, but most readers will have worked out the plot halfway through.As in "White House", Truman relies heavily on her Washington memories rather than researching new ones. So instead of interesting and detailed insights into the Senate's back rooms, we get a lot of chats in restaurants and bars. Despite its title, there is very little description of Capitol Hill. Readers interested in juicy insider insights will be disappointed. With a few pen strokes, the book could be set in any city. A quick read, not bad, but lots of room for improvement.

Fantastic and fast page turning novel By Charlie F This is the second of 24 Capitol Crimes novels that Margaret Truman wrote, and the fourth one that I read. I have recently completed acuqiring the entire collection and look forward to reading them all.This book keeps the reader in suspense and makes them want to keep reading, and turning the pages until the very suspenseful ending to find out who killed the victim.
