Once Upon a Time in Camelot

A Booklist Best Mystery 2016

America, 1972. A cynical and dangerous time. It is the eighth and final year of the administration of President Dan McCormick, the first leader of what is promising to be a political family dynasty. Now his younger brother Terry McCormick is poised to become the next president. But the war in Vietnam which the McCormick family has so strongly supported and defended has now become unpopular. And what's worse for Terry McCormick is that defense analyst Alan Hirsch has gone into hiding and taken the top secret Pentagon Report with him, a report that can only stain the treasured McCormick legacy. Corrupted by war and ambition, the McCormicks mark Hirsch for termination.
