Product Description
Will Lee, the courageous and uncompromising senator from Georgia, is back-now as President of the United States-in this fifth book of the New York Times bestselling series that began with Chiefs.
When a prominent conservative politician is killed inside his lakeside cabin, authorities have no suspect in sight. And two more seemingly different deaths might be linked to the same murderer. From a quiet D.C. suburb to the corridors of power to a deserted island hideaway in Maine, Will, his CIA director wife, Kate, and the FBI will track their man, set a trap-and await the most dangerous kind of quarry, a killer with a cause to die for...

 This guy writes worse than Dan Brown August 3, 2008

Inept writing. It's amazing that Stuart Woods has been so successful. His writing is heavy-handed, clumsy, awkward. The man has no touch, no feel for writing, no style. Reading this novel is like reading a script. No character development; we get no feel for what's going through the characters' minds or why they behave the way they do. The liberals are all wonderful people. The Republicans are all scoundrels who drink too much and are mean to their wives. We end up rooting for the villain because he's the only interesting character in the book.
utter drivel July 26, 2008
The writing, plot, dialogue and character "development" were so appalling I only read this to see how much worse it could possibly get--and it did! Don't even bother to carry this one home from the library.

The Margin
Woods takes you right to the action within the first few pages. For those that like the hook early and are impatient with complicated plot developement Capital Crimes should satisfy. There are sophisticated twists within the book that make it a good read. The thrill is in the chase.

The second story with president Will Lee August 23, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Much better than THE RUN, which was the first book about Will Lee, and this one is the story of an ex-CIA boy deciding who needs to die. Excellent story that will keep you riveted until the last page and continued in a Holly Barker novel, IRON ORCHID. Before you read IRON ORCHID, read the Holly Barker novels that precede this one, ORCHID BEACHE, ORCHID BLUES, AND BLOOD ORCHID. The story line is all tied in. I love the way Dino and Stone are brought into these books in minor ways...we know the characters and love to hear from them in each book. Woods is a skilled master and every story is enjoyable...
 every pinko's dreamworld December 8, 2005

Joe Wilson is the President, Valerie Plame runs the CIA, her primary objective is to get a pardon for her friend and mentor, who was blackmailed over sex with underage girls (this part is breathtakingly Clintonesque) into working for KGB and who is serving his sentence now.
Some retired CIA pinko vigilante assassinates Jesse Helms, Rush Limbaugh, Bob Novak, Pat Robertson, William Rehnquist and Newt Gingrich.
Everything comes out like a dream, really: every good person is in love and has the most satisfying sex of his/her life, Valerie's friend gets the pardon, the pinko vigilante gets away with murder, the CIA is still penetrated by the Russians - the life is truly beautiful.
There is only one small cloud in the bright sky: Pat Robertson survived the assassiantion.
