Murder in the Supreme Court (Capital Crimes Series book 3)
“The last leaves had fallen from the trees, and things formerly hidden by them were now visible.
Dr. Chester Sutherland looked through a tinted window in a limousine that had picked him up at his house. He watched Georgetown University’s spires slowly glide by, the Potomac patterned by a cold, gray chop. Ahead, through skeletal branches of bare trees, a stark white, neocolossal building surrounded by miles of twelve-foot-high chain link fence came into view. A large sign on the George Washington... Parkway identified it—CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY. Until 1973 the sign had read FAIRBANK HIGHWAY RESEARCH STATION. But then, ironically, President Nixon, in the spirit of more open government, had ordered signs telling it like it was, and, some said, the CIA has never been the same.
The limousine was met at a gate by a team of General Service Administration guards. Credentials were scrutinized before it was allowed to proceed to the next checkpoint. Eventually the long black vehicle entered an underground garage where Sutherland was greeted by a dour young man in a blue suit who wore his ID badge on a chain around his neck.MoreLess
