If You Can't Trust Your Uncle Sam

When murder erupts in a Washington, D.C. suburb, Wrin Veersil is hired to solve the questions of who did it and why. With her assistant, former Marine Claude Newhouse, Wrin sets to work and ties the case back to a nasty situation in southern Oregon created by the machinations of the federal government. Suspects include angry farmers and assorted bureaucrats. Wrin Veersil is 26 ½ inches tall, which is sometimes inconvenient, but her diminutive height is unrelated to her stature as a working investigator. Wrin is smart, tough, and tenacious.
