Who's Killing The Liberals?
Jonathan Scanlan's literary agent found a small publisher willing to accept his client's first work, Culprits of the American Culture. The nonfiction project profiles fifty of the country's most influential liberals in terms that are most unflattering. The author's difficulties start when the progressive leaders featured in his obscure book begin to be murdered in the sequence in which they are profiled.
When Jonathan becomes the focus of an FBI investigation he enlists the help of his poker buddies, an eclectic collection of men possessing brilliant minds and little card sense. His friends believe their intellectual abilities can solve the bizarre string of assassinations and remove the burden of suspicion the media and authorities have placed on the author's shoulders. At the suggestion of one member of the group, a devoted Sherlock Holmes fan, they decide to call themselves the Pacific Avenue Irregulars. Membership in the Irregulars is expanded when Carmen Costello, a rookie FBI agent assigned to Jonathan's surveillance team, is drawn into the amateur investigation.
As the killings continue the White House and the Bureau come under intense pressure to solve the crimes. Charges are levied against the Republican president ranging from a failure of leadership to a purposeful lack of interest in apprehending the killer of his progressive critics.
FBI's inability to protect the targeted victims and the Bureau's lack of progress in the investigation compound the administration's political problems. When the Irregulars find a link to the person behind the assassinations, Jonathan becomes the next name on the killer's list. The question is, can he survive long enough to expose the culprits?
