Stephen L. Carter's novel "Palace Council" (Alfred A. Knopf, $26.95), his third novel after "The Emperor of Ocean Park" and "New England White," combines page-turning intrigue with historical characters. It is the story of Eddie Wesley, a Harlem-based writer, who finds the body of a murdered man who was present at a meeting of a society bent on manipulating the office of the presidency. The novel is his two-decades search for the truth behind that murder and the meeting. |
