<p class=MsoNormal><b>About the Book:</b> <i>USA Today </i>called Stephen L.
Carter˘s last novel "the perfect summer read . . . Carter slips in so
many original, thought-provoking observations that the reader is sad the
killer has been caught." Now Carter, the best-selling author of <i>New
England White, </i>is back with <b><i>Palace Council</i></b>, a gripping
political thriller set in the era of Watergate and Vietnam. Philmont Castle
is a man who has it all: wealth, respect, and connections. He˘s the last
person you˘d expect to fall prey to a murderer, but when his body is found on
the grounds of a Harlem mansion, the young writer Eddie Wesley, along with
the woman he loves, Aurelia Treene, are pulled into a twenty-year search for
the truth. The disappearance of Eddie˘s sister June makes their investigation
even more troubling. As Eddie and Aurelia uncover layer upon layer of
intrigue, their odyssey takes them from the wealthy drawing rooms of New York
through the shady corners of radical politics all the way to the Oval Office
and President Nixon himself. Suspenseful, provocative, and witty, <i>Palace
Council </i>turns our assumptions inside out and reminds us how the struggles
of that era set the stage for America today.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b>About the Author: Stephen L. Carter </b>has helped
shape the national debate on issues ranging from the role of religion in American
political culture to the impact of integrity and civility on our daily lives.
The <i>New York Times</i> has called him one of the nation's leading public
intellectuals. Born in Washington, D.C., Carter graduated from Stanford
University, studied law at Yale University and went on to serve as a law
clerk, first on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, and
later for Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall. In 1982 he joined the
faculty at Yale, where he is now William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Law.
His critically acclaimed nonfiction books on subjects including affirmative
action, the judicial confirmation process, and the place of religion in our
legal and political cultures have earned Carter fans among luminaries as
diverse as William F. Buckley, Anna Quindlen, and former President Bill
Clinton. His earlier works of fiction are <i>The Emperor of Ocean Park </i>and
<i>New England White</i>. Carter and his family live near New Haven,
Connecticut <o:p></o:p></p>
