"Inquisition is a very savvy book with lots of energy ... Muscular and brisk and just right for its subject. And Vivid!" - Novelist Anne Tyler
A State Department adviser and war hero and his avant garde wife, a gifted abstract expressionist, present perfect targets for the chairman of a powerful Congressional investigating committee with an urgent need to conceal the secret which has fueled his rise to power. Action ranges across a broad canvas stretching from Capitol Hill hearing rooms to Washington salons to a Federal court room in Philadelphia where the drama unfolds. The timeline embraces the paranoid 1950s when witch-hunting is a spectator sport and the Mob is gaining a foothold in legitimate businesses; New Deal and wartime Washington and Balkan battle zones where Stalin's NKVD tangles with Wild Bill Donovan's OSS.
