Takes you into the backrooms of political power brokers

Kathleen Antrim's debut novel depicts a frightening tale of conspiracy in American politics. As an ambitious, but policy-driven prosecutor supports her husband's bid for the presidency, the reader is provided an engrossing tour through the bedrooms and back alleys that lie along the road to the White House. Carolyn Alden Lane endures abuse and infidelity in her effort to achieve a position from which to launch her political agenda. While at the same time, journalist Jack Rudly, faced with deceit, betrayal and multiple murders, is gripped by a mounting paranoia which propels him and the reader to a surprising climax. If you found the suspense and political intrigue of "Evil, Be Gone" titillating, continue the excitement with Antrim's "Capital Offense." - Robert John Estko, author of "Evil, Be Gone"

I AM SO JEALOUS!!!

I am an aspiring writer; and, if I achieve HALF the TALENT and SKILL that Kathleen Antrim demonstrates, my own career will be a success!!! I was captivated by the book--it has wonderfully interwoven story-lines (in fact, they are seemless) and sub-text. I can only imagine that those with deep-seeded personality deficits may find this book unsettling--as the characters are so realistically portrayed in their human flaws and frailty. And, of course, it makes me wonder if I'll ever get to be this accomplished in my own career and life! I guess, in the meanwhile, I'll live vicariously through the wonderful success of Ms. Antrim!!! Kudos from one aspiring writer to one that's demonstrated she has already MADE IT!! (Isn't the taste of success SWEET!!)

Great Novel!

I really enjoyed the suspense! An excellent read! Will make a great [Holiday] gift!!

Capital Offense

Since my time is limited, when I do sit down long enough, I tend to favor business books. I have found many of the popular "top selling" books to be entertaining though the story and characters are gone from my mind as soon as I turn the final page. Capital Offense has changed that thinking. For the first time in many years, I sat down to read a thrilling book that kept me intrigued and awake late into the night, It was a great page-turner that will still be in my memory years from now. Carolyn Lane is fabulous - her style and methodology are the envy of every strategic thinker. It is nice to read a book with STRONG female characters that work well with STRONG male characters. Great job on a first book, Ms. Antrim. I cannot wait for the next one. I wish you the best of luck. Your talent is evident.

I gave this book as a gift, and the recipient thought it was such and outstanding literary example of powerful women! Socially relevant, Capital Offense is a feather in the cap of political women everywhere. Senator Hillary Clinton should be honored to have parallels drawn between she and this heroine. This novel also deals with issues of manipulation of the press, and the dishonest ways in which things can be reported...The way in which this author dealt with the marital and sexual inadequacies of this couple was both outstanding and sensitive.I loved the clever way the heroine's husband learned the truth!
