It was better than a hotel, this anonymous room on a secluded side street of a small country town. No register to sign, no questions asked, and for five bucks a man could have three hours of undisturbed, illicit lovemaking. Then one evening a man with a knife turned the love nest into a death chamber. The carpet was soaked with blood - but where was the corpse? Meanwhile, a beautiful, promiscuous woman is missing - along with the bundle of cash she`d had in her pocket. The truth behind it all will keep even veteran mystery fans guessing through the very last page.

A Woman in Charge shows the true trajectory of Hillary`s astonishing life and career. From a staunchly Republican household and apparently idyllic Midwestern girlhood - her disciplinarian father here revealed as harsher than she has acknowledged - we see the shaping of a brilliant girl whose curiosity was fuelled by the ferment of the 1960s and a desire to change the world.
