Mo Katz Mystery

Mo Katz, no stranger to the twisted truths that lurk in the justice system, has his world upended when he becomes entangled in a complex terrorist plot that follows the discovery of a Congressional aide’s body floating in the Potomac River. Places that Katz once navigated with ease now become obscured by shadows as he weaves his way through political intrigue, courtroom machinations, and police skulduggery to save what’s left of the truth - and himself.  

Two grisly murders and a deadly conflagration on the Woodrow Wilson bridge put Mo Katz, US attorney EDVA, on a collision course with a rogue intelligence operative and a sinister person of interest.

For Katz, this is personal; the victim is the Deputy U.S. Attorney for the Civil Division.
