Thirteenth Letter

A murder unfolds in a Washington D.C. hospital, where the city's most powerful citizens come to heal and to hide their darkest secrets. The thirteenth letter in a mysterious chain of clues leads down a path of betrayal, desire, and dangerous truths buried deep within the capital's marble corridors. As the investigation intensifies, passion ignites between those who dare to pursue justice and those who would kill to protect the truth. Natalie Sumner Lincoln, who wrote twenty-two novels in fifteen years, crafts a murder mystery that moves from the sterile quiet of sickrooms to the electric tension of a final, transformative embrace. This is Washington D.C. behind the headlines, where every handshake conceals a motive and every whispered conversation might be a confession.
