Fiction based on truth gets me every time! Neely Tucker takes the true story of murders that occurred in DC and weaves them into a fictional tale. Sully, a journalist who has recently returned from war reporting is thrust back into city dramatics with the murder of a high ranking official's daughter. Although her murder looks isolated, Sully believes that it is one in a string and is out to prove it.

The plot was perfect and the characters were fantastically portrayed. Sully interacted with the professionals at his paper and the characters on the street with ease and I felt the truth in it. I loved his myriad of sources and meeting them and getting not only the information for the murders, but to learn about them was fantastic.
