Foster was found dead in Fort Marcy Park in suburban Virginia. One of the nation's highest~ranking federal officers, Foster was a boyhood friend of President Bill Clinton and a close confidant of First lady Hillary Rodham Clinton. His death sent shock waves through the White House and the nation's capital. The death was quickly pronounced a suicide. According to the official story that soon emerged, Foster was depressed, angry, and isolated. With nowbere else to turn, he went to a secluded park near the Potomac River, put a gun in his mouth, and killed himself. But is that what really happened? In this compelling and fully documented report, investigative journalist Christopher Ruddy answers that critical question. Ruddy, who has covered the case almost from the start, details the disturbing inconsistencies surrounding Foster's alleged suicide, chronicles the botched investigations, documents the frenzied illegal activity in the White House in the hours after Foster's death, and notes the persistent failure of mainstream media to ask the right questions. Throughout his thorough investigation of the available forensic and circumstantial evidence, Ruddy weaves a disturbing tale of cover~ups, abuse of power, police and prosecutorial incompetence, and press indifference. His startllng conclusionthat despite the official line, Foster could not have killed himself in Fort Marcy Park~will persuade even the most skeptical reader to demand a full public investigation into the mysterious circumstances of the death of Vincent Foster and the troubling events in its aftermath. Attacked by 60 Minutes and blacklisted by the White House, Ruddy has put his journalistic reputation on the line, and at considerable personal cost he has dared to ask the hard questions and find the answers in this deeply disturbing case.…
