Final Adjournment (A Washington Statehouse Mystery) (en Inglés) - Don Stuart

The murder of a powerful senator shatters the intricate political world of a working legislature.

The scenic campus of the Washington state capitol is outwardly calm, but the Legislature is in session and no one better understands the turmoil that swirls beneath the surface than professional lobbyist Sandy Dalton. In the middle of a busy day, a powerful senator is found dead in his office with an antique Native American hunting knife in his chest. Sandy had argued with the senator the morning of the murder and was the last to see him alive so he is an early suspect. But he isn't the only one to have run afoul of the senator's intrigues. And the resulting tectonic shift in the political landscape turns the legislative world upside down. Motives, conflicting testimonies, and hints of behind-the-scenes blackmailing add up as Sandy embarks on a struggle to clear his name.

Almost everyone in Olympia politics has a stake and almost anyone could be the killer.
