Edgar and Barry Award finalist Mike Lawson resumes \nhis beloved Joe DeMarco series with a pulse-pounding \nthriller starring the Washington DC \u201ctroubleshooter\u201d as \nhe tries to pin down a Boston billionaire soaring at the \ntop of the world in KINGPIN (Atlantic Monthly Press). As evidenced by his ever growing Boston empire, Carson Newman doesn\u2019t usually get his hands dirty. Joe DeMarco, on the other hand, is paid to do that, and by the former \nSpeaker of the House, John Mahoney.\nBrian Lewis, an intense workaholic interning for Mahoney, has been found dead in his apartment, purportedly from a drug overdose. But Brian never showed signs of drug use prior to his death, and he coincidentally seemed to be on the cusp of releasing a report identifying a group of politicians who had taken bribes to help dismantle a recent bill. Brian\u2019s mother is convinced that her son was \nmurdered because of what he\u2019d learned. While DeMarco reaches a similar conclusion, all evidence only points to the sheer impossibility of a murder ever having happened: a locked door to a thirdfloor apartment with locked windows and no fire escape ladder, and no defensive wounds on Brian\u2019s body. \nIn a city full of shadowy agreements and duplicitous deals, DeMarco will soon learn that to get to the \nbottom of Brian\u2019s death, he\u2019ll have to look at people perched at the very top of the world.\n\nMIKE LAWSON is a former senior civilian executive for the US Navy. He is the Edgar Award nominated author of more than fifteen novels starring Joe DeMarco and three novels with his protagonist Kay Hamilton.
