Synopsis

While pursuing a scandal story for his tabloid, Will O'Brien, a discredited former investigative reporter, discovers an aging senator's recent death by heart attack was an assassination. He makes that claim in his weekly article, which produces a mysterious informer who tells him of an incredible conspiracy to assassinate senators in order to control the outcome of the midterm elections. O'Brien and DC Detective Zalva Martinez pursue the conspiracy through a trail of murdered participants and witnesses, discovering a cabal of political fanatics with ties to one of our oldest European allies. Desperate to save the last remaining wiwtness, they fall into a trap set by the conspirators. A trap from which escape seems hopeless.

Review:

Diabolical,...brisk,... well-paced. The dialogue is snappy,...the action scenes exciting,...Goddart delivers a thriller. --Kirkus Discoveries, New York

On the money suspense: I love a good pageturner and since I work in politics this one was right up my alley. The plot was fast paced and the characters were immediately likeable. Suspense, intrigue and just enough romance thrown in made this book hard to put down. I read it start to finish on a six hour trip to Arkansas! I highly recommend it. --Contract lobbyist, reviewer

Politically-Charged Suspense! Great Story! I seldom read fiction, and I'm not at all interested in mystery stories or political intrigue. I happened to hear a short reading from Upper House Conspiracy, however, and it piqued my interest so much that I bought a copy. I am so glad that I did. I literally could not put the book down. I ate my meals with it open on the table so that I could keep reading! The writing is fast-paced and direct. The chapers are short, and each chapter leaves the reader eager to read on. --A reviewer
