...case against Peeler, but Snead was murdered before he could testify who had shot at him. That left only one witness, a third-grader whose smile was sunny and persistent, who should have had no cares but to tell his jokes and read a favorite book, Double Trouble in Walla Walla. Instead, B.J. agreed to tell authorities what he knew about guns and blood. Prosecutors planned to call him as the key witness in what was now to be Peeler's murder trial...

People everywhere say they're disgusted with Congress, but in eastern Washington, voters enjoy the unique ability to fire the guy who runs the place. No House Speaker has lost an election since the eve of the Civil War, and the parade of national-news reporters trooping around from Walla Walla to Spokane has helped awaken voters to the scent of history in the offing. Having suffered the second-worst showing of his 16 congressional campaigns during the September primary voting, Foley finds himself in the toughest race of his career. Yet only recently has he begun to campaign...
