Just…My Review
Capital Crimes by Stuart Woods, 288 pages, published by G. P. Putnam's Sons, October, 2003.
A man is shot through his kitchen window in a secluded cabin. This man just happens to be a Senator and a political conservative, with very strong right-wing views. Within days a couple more murders occur in very different ways, seemingly unrelated, until you look at their politics. Someone out there is taking out political figures with stealth, disguises and showing an extreme knowledge of ways to kill. He is eliminating people with beliefs far different from his own, and he is leaving NO clues.
FBI agent Robert Kinney is the man chosen to find this killer. Agent Kinney and his team search high and low, frequently being a few steps behind this murderer with a cause to die for. His hunt takes him along the eastern seaboard, and brings him in contact with President Will Lee, who is very concerned about the deaths of so many people with politics opposite from his own. Also involved is the First Lady, Kate Rule Lee, who is also the director of the CIA. She has been receiving snail mail and e-mail from an inmate who claims to have information that can deliver this killer.
Capital Crimes is a Will Lee Novel, and political intrigue abounds for the now president and his wife throughout this book. I have found that it is the third in this series, and I look forward to reading the rest. It is a relatively short book and slow-paced at times. The repartee is occasionally dry, but I found myself waiting to see just how they were going to get this phantom and bring him to justice. Or will they?
