When the world's most famous explorer is murdered at the
Smithsonian, it's up to a cynical Washington detective to solve the
case. Bob Fundwell dies in the Smithsonian's Ocean Hall when the
life-size replica of a whale falls from the ceiling and crushes
him. A veteran black investigator, Detective Thomas, is assigned
the case. He's witnessed two decades of bloody mayhem on the
streets of the nation's capital. The list of suspects is long, for
the victim was arrogant and reviled. Fundwell discovered the
Gigantic, a legendary ocean liner that sank in the Atlantic after
hitting an iceberg. He became rich and famous by falsely claiming
the work of his colleagues. As Thomas investigates the case, he is
lied to by people at all levels - from housing projects to the
Supreme Court. Deceit is the one constant in a Washington on the
eve of the 2008 election. Yet, he presses on, determined to find
justice and prove that Washington has changed since its days as the
murder capital of the country. Murder in Ocean Hall is inspired by
true events, including the real-life controversy over the discovery
of the Titanic, as well as the author's two decades in Washington.
This novel takes you behind the scenes of our nation's
dysfunctional capital, revealing the real city beyond the
monuments.
