In the thirteenth book in Mike Lawson's celebrated series, Joe
DeMarco finds himself on the wrong side of an investigation--in the
wake of a political assassination, he's been framed as the killer.
As the fixer for Congressman John Mahoney in Washington, D.C., Joe
DeMarco has had to bend and break the law more than a few times.
But when Representative Lyle Canton, House Majority Whip, is found
shot dead in his office in the U.S. Capitol and DeMarco is arrested
for the murder, DeMarco knows he's been framed. Locked up in the
Alexandria Jail awaiting trial, he calls on his enigmatic friend
Emma, an ex-DIA agent, to search for the true killer. Emma's
investigation leads her to Sebastian Spear, the ruthless and
competitive CEO of the multi-billion-dollar Spear Industries. Spear
had a motive for killing Lyle Canton: Canton's wife, Jean, had once
been Spear's high school sweetheart and the one true love of his
life--until Canton won her over. Now Jean was dead, killed in a car
crash while driving drunk, and Spear blamed Canton for the
accident. But the case the F.B.I. has built against DeMarco is
airtight, and not a single piece of evidence points to the grieving
CEO. Using her cunning and her D.C. connections, Emma sets out to
prove that Spear has been using some fixers of his own. Featuring
crimes of passion, corporate corruption, and partisan feuds, House
Arrest is a gripping, timely political thriller, and one of
Lawson's best books yet.

The FBI needs to think again in this thriller!
The House majority whip was shot dead in the Capitol office. The killer thought he was too smart to clean the evidence to eliminate himself from being sought by the FBI. They watched the recordings from the CCTV cameras and identified the “perpetrator”. His name was Joe DeMarco who was the son of the former Italian-American mobster.
The victim, Lyle Canton, had recently lost his wife in a road accident four months earlier. The wealthy CEO of Spear Industries had had an affair with Mrs Canton. Is Spear connected to DeMarco? Have the FBI caught the right person? Especially as he claimed that he was innocent.
This title was left to the readers to figure out who was really under house arrest because DeMarco was in custody.
This book was well written and a good thriller!
