Scandals, lies, political hatreds, a fiercely contested Presidency, and a Congress deadlocked by partisan conflict - Sounds familiar? It's 1797!          No one paid much attention when Bridget LeClair died – not, that is, until Thomas Jefferson was accused of killing her.  Jefferson had secrets worth killing for, to be sure – his affair with his slave Sally Hemmings and his role (if the rumors were true) in Senator Blount’s treasonous conspiracy. He wasn’t the only one Bridget knew, however, who might have dangerous secrets to hide.          When Senator Jacob Martin became involved, albeit most reluctantly, in trying to find out who really killed her, it won him no friends, to say the least. He and the Senate Doorman James Mathers had to unearth the scandals of some of the country’s richest and most powerful men. The political cost was as bad as Jacob had feared, but even worse was the damage to his budding relationship with Elizabeth Powel.          Secrets Worth Killing For takes you back to the crisis-ridden years of the late eighteenth century, when the survival of the United States was still in doubt – when powerful enemies surrounded the fragile young nation like birds of prey and bitter internal conflicts threatened to tear it apart.
