Alien in the House

Jeff and Kitty Katt-Martini have learned the ins and outs of Washington politics, not to mention how to prevail in intergalactic war and foil any variety of dangerous conspiracies. But, in the aftermath of Operation Destruction, the Gower girls’ powers are burned out, the entire A-C population has been “outed” as the aliens living on Earth that they are, and, worst of all, ACE is nowhere to be found.

Then murder and mayhem are put onto the menu for an important dinner party at the American Centaurion Embassy and, when the dust settles, Alpha Team and the Diplomatic Corps have more problems than just a dead Congressman. There may be a criminal mastermind in charge of every conspiracy out there – and most of those conspiracies want Kitty dead and the A-Cs gone or functioning as the War Division.

The return of the best assassins in the business, the appearance of not one but two individuals long-presumed dead, Malcolm Buchanan felled by something no one can identify or cure, and new technology out of Gaultier Enterprises that can block even the most powerful empath on Earth means the game’s officially afoot. Then Vance Beaumont comes to Kitty with a wild theory that someone is systematically killing off the House of Representatives – and it looks like Vance might be right.

Now it’s up to Kitty and the rest of the Diplomatic Corps, along with some surprising new allies, to find out what’s really going on and why. But will they be able to stop the killer or killers before the rest of the U.S. House of Representatives become casualties? Or will the replacement Representative for New Mexico’s 2nd District, who happens to be Jeff Martini, be the next one to die?
