Opis

In "Death Before Bedtime," dashing P.R. man Peter Sargent is invited to the home of a venerable senator to help strategize his imminent run for president. On the night before he s to announce, though, the senator is murdered in his bed. No longer needed as a political publicist, Sargent finds himself helping the police find the killer. He deftly navigates an eccentric cast of characters, all of whom are suspects: the rebellious daughter; the sycophantic aide; the grieving widow; and the power-hungry governor with his eye on the senator s job. Somehow, between charming the senator s daughter and glad-handing Washington s elite, Sargent still manages to methodically put the pieces into place and sees that politics truly is a cut-throat business."
