About the Book
Hollywood comedy writer Springer McKay is summoned to serve as jokewriter for the President of the United States, his President King Morgan's Secretary of Schtick. When someone slips strychnine in Vice President Dakin Hinch's drink, everyone in the White House is suspect—all had motive and opportunity, but who was unhinged enough to commit murder?
The Investigation
Springer investigates while fingers of guilt point at President Morgan due to his sudden erratic behavior. At the annual Gridiron Dinner, the President goes totally haywire and, doing a dead-on impression of Groucho Marx, hurls insults at the whistle-asses in Congress and the media. The FBI concludes the President went mad and is responsible for the murder—case closed. Springer’s not so sure.
The Tale
Jokes and intrigue follow in this hilarious tale of Murder, Washington-Style.
