IN AN ELECTION YEAR

A United States Senator harbors a secret that could cost him his life.

In an election year, a female serial killer is ripping through Washington's rich and powerful men. They have nothing in common except their sex-drenched murders. It's a case so explosive, the political crossfire is bound to destroy whoever investigates. The FBI assigns disgraced, expendable Special Agent Denny Cartwright to work it.

Presidential front runner Senator Milt White is Denny's longtime friend - and the next target. Time has run out. Denny's only lead has been dead for sixteen years. Now Denny must make Milt talk, before an abused woman can exact a violent revenge.

Andre Jute's Iditarod is the finest piece of fiction that I have read about The Greatest Race on Earth. Packed with adventure at every turn, nail-biting suspense, touches of endearing humor and the fine, subtle thread of romance, this tale speaks to what readers crave. "¨
