The wife of popular Florida Congressman (and prospective Senatorial candidate) Clegg Caffery is murdered. FBI Special Agent Matt Thurston begins an investigation that leads him from the Pentagon to the small town of Clewiston, Florida in search of a photographer responsible for the photo found in the murdered woman's hand. He arrives too late. The man has committed suicide. Although Thurston uncovers a strange and suspicious story about the dead photographer that he believes is worthy of continued investigation, he is abruptly steered away from the case by his superiors. Angered by this turn of events, Thurston enlists the assistance of two reporters. With their involvement, he begins to peel away layers of lies and deceit hiding the truth about the murder. Along the way, Thurston slowly unravels a complex weave of story lines that includes a sex for hire plot involving the President's wife; an attempt by computer magnate Norman Bremen to subvert the workings of Congress to ensure the survival of his sugar interests in Florida; and the revelation of a cover-up of a war crime in Vietnam that threatens the Presidency. Although Evil Town is a work of fiction, it is based on historical and current events. The Vietnam element of the plot delves into the massacre of Vietnamese villagers at Co Luy. This occurred on the same day as the My Lai killings and happened as described in the novel. The military and political cover-up of the incident detailed in Evil Town is an interpretation of actual events that relegated Co Luy to the back pages of history. The description of the political maneuvering related to the restoration of the Everglades, and to the "sugar wars" in Florida, is a dramatization of the intrigue currently being played out by power brokers, the media and Congress on this issue. While it should come as no surprise that the drug war can be managed and waged for political purposes – a subplot in Evil Town – it is the subtleties of international politics that often allow this to happen. The novel provides insight on how this is possible. Through it all, Matt Thurston and his allies match wits with the most powerful in Washington putting themselves in harm's way. Truth, honor and justice are slippery concepts in this story of politics and fragile human relationships.

Lightfoot David Bethel's "EVIL TOWN" is a page turner you will enjoy whether you are a Washington "insider" or just someone that enjoys a great story. His characters come to life as you wind thorough this story of intrigue, passion, betrayal and just plain egos too big to fit into the majestic high ceiling rooms of the Nation's Capitol. For those of us that have been there and lived the political life it is easy to attach the names of people we know and/or have known to David's characters. I think you will find that part of the fun when you read his book. Perhaps you will also pick up a little understanding of the high stakes poker played with your life and income by thousands of faceless bureaucrats and unscrupulous politicians who's only goal in life is re-election. "EVIL TOWN" great title and a superb read.Jim Ross LightfootMEMBER OF CONGRESS (ret)1985 - 1997

Behind Washington's Facade By Harry Ludwig Although fictional, Evil Town captures, with exceptional realism, the political maneuvering, jockeying-for-position and one-upmanship that goes on behind the scenes in our nation's capital...all in the name of `politics'. Every bit as good as John Grisham's best, Evil Town grabs your attention and keeps it through countless twists and turns as the plot unfolds, layer by layer. So well written, the reader is left with the conviction the story must have been based on real life events. Clearly, Bethel understands Washington and the political process at its best...and worst.Harry Ludwig

Evil Town takes me right back to my days in DC By Lynn Sandford If you've ever worked in politics (anywhere), or in DC or have never worked in politics, Evil Town provides a shockingly accurate portrayal of the culture of American politics and Washington, DC personalities. Once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. Well done, Dave!
