Margaret in Washington

As the COVID pandemic ends, horrific crimes shatter America's joy: nation-wide continuing rapes and murders; the burning of inhabited schools and churches; and the ransom kidnapping of a mayor's child.Yet Margaret is obsessed with other matters: why a man offers two-hundred-thousand-dollars to be murdered; why a healthy child hopes to be alive when an adult; how to end a young woman's infatuation with a criminal; and, most critical of all, forestalling the plot to decapitate America's military.But Margaret has allies too: Kristin, a former intelligence service case officer; David, a retired Mossad agent living in America; a newly appointed United States senator, her father; and her husband, Randy, the father of her children and love of her life.
