"Patricia Traymore, you must not come to Washington. You must not produce a program glorifying Senator Jennings. And you must not live in that house." Will TV-journalist Pat Traymore let this scary, anonymous telephone call stop her from joining the Potomac Cable Network in D.C.? Of course not. She'll plunge right ahead and starting work on a profile of Sen. Jennings. Furthermore, Pat will move into "that house"--the Georgetown house where Rep. Dean Adams and his wife died in a 1950s murder/suicide, their three-year-old daughter dying from mysterious injuries too. But did the Adams child really die?
