Publisher Description
A grieving mother's plea drives a Philadelphia detective to expose a murderer hiding among Washington, D.C.'s rich and powerful.
On detail to the Philadelphia Police Department's Dignitary Protection Unit, Detective Adam Kaminski's latest assignment is to babysit the senior senator from Pennsylvania as she visits Philadelphia with the French Ambassador to the United States. When the senator's aide is shot as the group prepares to leave DC, the FBI assumes the senator was the target. The aide's parents aren't so sure.
Sent to DC to find out what really happened, Adam finds himself facing down a powerful senator, a desperate architectural historian and a silver-tongued ambassador, all with an ambitious DCPD Officer who's willing to do whatever it takes to get her man. Adam has to sift through the muck that is the dark side of DC politics to find the truth before the murderer slips safely back into the protective shelter of wealth and power.

Thin Veil
When his contact with VIPs visiting Philadelphia from DC gets shot the day their trips begins, Adam Kaminski finds himself headed to DC to offer insight to local officials. As they learn more about Jay Kapoor, Senator Lisa Marshall, and the French ambassador, Adam and local law enforcement seem to be looking for different answers. Diplomatic Security Agent Sam Burke and his liaison in the DCPD, Ramona Davis, however, her him search for unexpected clues. Will they uncover the truth or cause more trouble for those involved?
POSSIBLE SPOILERS: I found the detective’s focus compelling since his search for the truth of his case seemed to keep him from noticing clues about changing circumstances back home. A couple of chapters presented thoughts from the view an unidentified character or characters that didn’t really seem to add much to the story even at the denouement. The author did think out the story and weaves in a few extra connections to get clues to right detectives.
Deadly Secrets
Another intriguing and intense Detective Adam Kaminski novel, the second in this fascinating series! This time the setting is stateside and it’s a roller coaster ride in the nation’s seat of power! The characters are well drawn and have depth, the situations in which they find themselves are well detailed, and their actions and feelings believable. This is another very written and exciting novel. I’ll look for the next novel in the series tomorrow!
A Thin Vale
I enjoyed the characters and the plot was good. Having been in law enforcement and having seen the attitudes of other departments it is hard to find common ground, even in same state. Thanks k
