About this audiobook
Times are tough in Savannah for former cop and current PI Robert Brixton, so when he agrees to take on a 20 year-old murder case, he figures he’s got nothing to lose. It’s not long before the trail leads him deep into the corrupt underbelly of Savannah’s power elite, and right into the lap of a secret government organization that’s been offing “troublesome” politicians for decades. The cold case heats up when he joins forces with former attorneys Mackensie and Annabel Lee Smith to investigate the organization and the murders they committed in the name of patriotism.
With what he knows, Brixton can bring down Washington, D.C.’s leading social hostess, if not the administration itself. But can he outwit an organization that is hell-bent on keeping its secrets—secrets that go all the way back to the assassinations of Jack and Bobby Kennedy?
Margaret Truman brings us into the corridors of Washington power as only she can, where the end too often justifies the means, where good people are destroyed by those for whom the only goal is survival…whatever the cost.

Reviews for Monument to Murder
24 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Sadly, Margaret Truman's last book.
Good premise and plot, but we don't always like "change" and so I missed the Washington DC setting and 'insider' info on the buildings and institutions that were a core of her earlier works.
Not sure I could find much of a DC link to this - title seems misleading to me.
And although Mac & Annabelle Smith appear on these pages, I missed their love story.
It's a worthwhile read, just sad that we've lost Ms. Truman and the DC series. Sigh.....h - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I will miss Truman's books set in Washington DC. A mother hires a detective to find out why her daughter pled guilty to a murder she didn't commit, why she was gunned down on the street shortly after being released from prison, and who paid her the $10,000 to go to jail and keep silent. The tale starts in Savannah and leads the detective to Washington DC. Truman was a political insider and is able to take the reader to the behind the scenes with high level elected officials. Her father was the one who quipped, "If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog."
