Those Who Trespass Against Us Gretchen Cook-anderson

Author Bio: Gretchen Cook-Anderson is a public affairs professional and former Capitol Hill lobbyist who lives in the Washington, DC area with her husband. This is her first novel. A young newlywed was killed in a suburban San Francisco bank hold-up 25 years ago. Her murderers were never found. Twenty-something and savvy, Congressional aid Rachel Mooreshelton's life begins to violently twist and turn following the untimely murder of her office colleague, Persy Pritchard. Life in prominent Congressman Jackson's office will never again be the same. Rookie DC police detective Mike James, pulled in to investigate the Capitol Hill murder of Congressman Jackson's chief of staff, becomes embroiled in a complicated, politically volatile case, that stands to not only blow the lid off of the decades-old bank murder, and topple the old-guard leadership in the Congress, but may also reveal an uneasy truth about one of the nation's most celebrated lawmakers. Those Who Trespass Against Us reminds us that those in whom we place our trust and our nation's welfare are sometimes those who betray our unblinding faith again and again.
