Crime Scene: Fairfax County

Her lifeless body bobbed on a crest in Dripping Creek. A chill swept over him... Who killed her? Why was the town thrown into turmoil? Barbara Stafford and Weldon Trent saw horror during the war. Now they want calm, in a nice community of good people. But times are changing. It's 1947. It's the dawn of the New American Empire—a booming time of construction, expansion, rapid change and sudden wealth. Oakton, Virginia is small, but it's only miles from Capitol Hill—and the dead blond in the river is a member of Congress. This crime novel by Robert F. Dorr pits good against evil in the finest tradition of noir fiction. It takes you to a place where chaos reigns while good people struggle in the aftermath of a horrendous crime. And the shooter is still on the loose.
