The Question Is Murder
by Mark Willen
Washington D.C. newspaper columnist Sam Turner, known to his readers as Mr. Ethics, faces his toughest moral dilemma yet: Can murder ever be justified?
That's the question posed to him by a mysterious young woman who says she is being stalked
and harassed by an ex-lover too powerful to be stopped any other way. Sam knows that
journalists should never get personally involved in a story, but he finds he is being drawn
deeper and deeper into this one whether he wants it or not.
So when Senator Wade Morgan turns up murdered, Sam fears the worst. Worried about his own
involvement, the man who normally has all the answers is now the one making questionable decisions.
As his investigation into the Senator's death begins to spin out of control, Sam finds he
can't let go—even as the case grows more complicated and the threats against his life become
more immediate. With the fate of a young woman at stake and his own life in jeopardy, Sam
can't back down until the killer—whoever that may be—is brought to justice.
But this is D.C., and justice can be in short supply.
Praise for The Question Is Murder
"Is murder ever ethical? When a desperate young woman approaches newspaper columnist, Sam Turner,
with this question, Turner is wracked by his own ethical conflict. An exciting, thought-provoking

"This suspense-filled book is an inventive tale of intrigue, jealousy and revenge that kept me
turning pages to uncover the solution."
