The Charlie Glass Series
Book Four
Corruption carved into the very foundations of power.
The Case
A senator dies in a way that should not have been possible. A junior aide vanishes the same week. Charlie is brought into an inquiry that begins as a single thread and turns into a load-bearing column of a building she did not know she was standing inside.
By the time she sees the structure, half of it is already pointed at her. The other half is waiting to see which side she is on.
Pillars of Evil is the fourth Charlie Glass novel. It is the loudest book in the series and the quietest. It is about power, about the architecture of corruption, and about a woman who has finally, after four cases, stopped being asked nicely.
“
Carson’s most ambitious novel yet — and her angriest. A masterclass in modern thriller writing.

Themes & Texture
Washington marble. Senate offices. A private club where the deals predate the constitution. And, eventually, a small room in Virginia.
A network that owns judges, generals, and three of the senators investigating it. The fourth senator is the one who is dead.
Charlie at her most exposed. Off the books. Off the record. Off the reservation. Finally, herself.
