When the witty, sophisticated New York couple Thomas and Sandrine Curry accompany their friend Theodore Furst on a trip to Burundi in 1963, their plans for a leisurely photo safari give way to diplomatic intrigue, romantic complications, and murder. After they spot guerilla fighters through their viewfinder and witness a military ambush, Thomas and Sandy are escorted from their campsite to a rural inn. That night, gunshots destroy any hope of sleep: One of the guests has been killed in his room, and Sandy sees the suspect flee on foot. Believing that the Currys are an important source of clues, local authorities draw them into what seems to be a simple murder investigation. But in the secretive, politically charged world of postcolonial Africa, Thomas and Sandy are slow to trust anyone - even each other. When they attempt to explore connections between the murder and the ambush, they suddenly find themselves in real danger, and only Theodore's unflagging support can help the quick-thinking, feisty sleuths in their race to solve the most challenging case of their lives.

Act of Faith

The Cold War may be over, but retired foreign service officer Richard Michaelson is finding Washington, D.C., anything but peaceful. At a government reception in the Library of Congress, a sudden explosion lands Michaelson in the hospital and allows a German nationalist group to steal the library's Bible. Soon afterward, a top Washington law firm offers him a consulting job he doesn't want, but before he can decline gracefully, one of the firm's partner is crushed to death in a suspicious accident. Through his government contacts and the help of aspiring politician Wendy Gardner, Michaelson discovers a disturbing connection between the law firm and the library theft - a discovery that causes a net of capital intrigue and infighting to tighten around him as he tries to avert an international catastrophe. Fast-paced, witty, and expertly crafted, Corruptly Procured is Richard Michaelson's most challenging and entertaining case to date.

A dead body is discovered in a locked room in a country house in the affluent Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C. Nine people were present in the house at the time, nine people who saw nothing they'd like to report and did nothing they're willing to confess to. A document that might relate to a CIA scandal in the recent past--or to a presidential election in the near future--is missing, and much sought after. No one will know exactly what it means until it's found. But would someone be willing to kill for it? The key to this complicated puzzle lies with two sisters, two young women who don't quite fit into Washington's high-stakes political arena. Retired Foreign Service agent Richard Michaelson and his friend Marjorie Randolph find themselves at the middle of this whirlwind of political and personal intrigue, and must do more than sort clues. For the most challenging locked room you're likely to encounter in Washington, D.C., is your own mind.

Between 1944 and 1953, a power struggle emerged between New York governor Thomas Dewey and U.S. senator Robert Taft of Ohio that threatened to split the Republican Party. In The Roots of Modern Conservatism, Michael Bowen reveals how this two-man battle for control of the GOP--and the Republican presidential nomination--escalated into a divide of ideology that ultimately determined the party's political identity. Initially, Bowen argues, the separate Dewey and Taft factions endorsed fairly traditional Republican policies. However, as their conflict deepened, the normally mundane issues of political factions, such as patronage and fund-raising, were overshadowed by the question of what "true" Republicanism meant. Taft emerged as the more conservative of the two leaders, while Dewey viewed Taft's policies as outdated. Eventually, conservatives within the GOP organized against Dewey's leadership and, emboldened by the election of Dwight Eisenhower, transformed the party into a vehicle for the Right. Bowen reveals how this decade-long battle led to an outpouring of conservative sentiment that had been building since World War II, setting the stage for the ascendancy of Barry Goldwater and the modern conservative movement in the 1960s.
