Washington Masquerade
Adam Burns, Washington Post columnist and controversial presidential critic, is dead. With no clear circumstances, speculation, gossip, and rumor flood the media—was it accident, suicide, or murder? Conspiracy theories run amok, accusing none other than the President of the United States. Was Adam Burns the target of a government hit squad? Did someone decide to silence his diatribes once and for all?Fiona Fitzgerald, an unlikely hero in Washington D.C.'s blue-collar, predominantly male police force, is entrusted with unraveling Burns' death. Born into the elite social circles of the nation's capital, and with privileged access to what lurks behind the pristine fa?ade of the political establishment, Fiona is determined to expose the chicanery buried under prim rose bushes and concealed within the ceaseless Washington Masquerade.蘑菇课
在距我七八米的阴暗树冠层中,有根粗枝桠猛地一动,陡地蹿出一条鬼魅般的黑色鸮影,疾快无声地飘临头顶上方。在那一瞬,我来不及做任何反应,连害怕都来不及。当时只会一样,瞪大惊恐的双眼,眼睁睁地看着它当头罩下。那可怖黑影似夜魔的风筝,阴风凄凄悄然无声,阔扇般的漆黑双翼遮蔽了月亮。它在我头顶三尺处收住,打个快旋,回落到左侧的树杈上。月光清晰地勾勒出它乌黑的轮廓,身长近半米,形体圆粗,似一个大树瘤。佯攻。我脑海中闪过一个念头。刚才那一刻,整个人毫无反应,如同被绑紧的牲口,对方可以用任何方式在任何部位下手。稍稍回过神,第二轮攻击又至。它直扑到距我头顶一尺处,才猛地凌空敛翅,疾旋一周而去。刹那间,我嗅到了它身上毛羽间散溢的微腥气。虽属佯攻,但比上次凌厉。
