The Bohemian Connection Elizabeth Wiley

When the nation's political elite descends on a small Northern California town, murder follows - and only Vejay Haskell can get to the bottom of the shocking crime

Each year the Bohemian Club - a clique of powerful conservatives whose ranks include Nixon, Reagan, and Kissinger - gathers for a confidential meeting in the backwoods town of Henderson, California. Though their activities are shrouded in secrecy, Henderson meter-reader Vejay Haskell is about to get an all-too-close inside look.

Searching the countryside for a coworker's missing niece, she finds the beautiful gymnast lying dead in the bottom of a sewer drain. The sheriff calls it an accident, but Vejay suspects the girl's death was connected to the Bohemian Club's unquenchable desire for drugs, booze, and prostitutes. Finding the killer will mean going head to head with the nation's fiercest politicians. But compared to the Vietnam vets, pot growers, and backcountry crackpots she normally deals with, the Bohemians don't frighten Vejay one bit.
