The Chancellor Manuscript
"Did" J. Edgar Hoover die a natural death?...or was he murdered? Inver Brass -- a group of high-minded and high-placed intellectuals who see a monstrous threat to the country in Hoover's unethical use of his scandal-ridden private files. They decide to do away with him -- quietly, efficiently, with no hint of impropriety. Until best-selling thriller writer Peter Chancellor stumbles onto information that makes his precious books like harmless fairy tales.
