Summary
A Fourth of July fundraiser leads to fireworks of another kind in this &“entertaining, satisfying mystery&” (Publishers Weekly). Stephen Fox may be a moron, but he may also be America&’s next president. The dimwitted legislator is just smart enough… to know when to smile for the camera. But two women stand in the way of his campaign: his mistress and his wife, who has never recovered from the death of their daughter, a pain she manages by devoting herself to fundraising for children with Down syndrome. During a weekend-long charity extravaganza on Long Island Sound, Fox&’s candidacy goes off the rails in a spectacularly bloody fashion. Ex-FBI investigator Gregor Demarkian is the first on the scene. Fox&’s entourage of political handlers may lie for a living, but Demarkian has a way of ferreting out the truth, and he will nab the killer before the last firework sounds.
