Primary Suspects

Amanda Powell, stunning young trophy wife of a Seattle City Councillor, is found brutally murdered in her home. Her powerful husband, smarting after a humiliating defeat in a Congressional primary, has an airtight alibi. Two Seattle detectives, rookie Paul Lungren and veteran Dan Coyle, catch the case, a sordid affair that has no solid leads and no obvious motive.

The investigation soon uncovers a web of politically ambitious climbers, a neighbor in deep with the Russian Mafia and a missing friend from Amanda's sorority days. As Lungren slowly begins to become obsessed with the case and the beautiful victim at its center, dark secrets buried for a decade come to light about a sordid past and an uneasy, loveless marriage.
