About the Book

Capitol In Crisis follows the story of people from different walks of life trapped in an underground cafe after an explosion in Capitol Hill, as well as the people who are doing the best they can to rescue them from this terrifying ordeal.

Will they be able to work together despite their differences in personalities, perspectives, and beliefs?
Will they show their selfish side and try to save themselves, or sacrifice their own safety for the sake of helping those in dire need?

If you love a suspense thriller that keeps you at the edge of your seat, eager to find out what will happen next, and will get you immersed in this vivid story of a tragic explosion that put the lives of many people at risk, Capitol in Crisis is for you.

We meet several true-to-life characters like Fire Chief Earl Bentsen who recognizes that time is of the essence and Rob Tate, a skinny maintenance worker who realizes that he can reach the Café as well as the mechanical room by crawling through an old vent space.

Through several twists and turns, Simone maintains a steady hand, aided by the Speaker of the House, John McIntyre, who finds her very attractive. Although it seems an impossible task, one by one, victims reunite with their families.

What people are saying!

“Kathy Johnson takes us deep into the underground of the U.S. Capitol in this riveting novel but anyone who has worked, visited, or wanted to be there will instantly get some sense of the place and the people there. There are disasters aplenty in our nation’s Capital but this is about one that is not political but very real and haunting. A wonderful read.”

Mike McCurry

Former White House Press Secretary and U.S. Senate staffer

“The dialogue and character development is truly authentic. I felt pulled into the scenes and conversations right away…Anyone fascinated by DC and the Capitol and anyone also desirous of knowing what the “hoi polloi” who serve the power brokers experience and feel every day will enjoy this book.”

James J. Londis, Ph.D.,

Former Director, Washington Institute of Contemporary Issues

“Kathy Johnson arrested my attention from the opening paragraphs of this lively and informative work and kept it to the end. Her attention to details, in particular the intricate configuration of the tunnels that crisscross like spaghetti under the Capitol building, is compelling on its own but, more importantly, adds authenticity to the author’s grasp of her subject. Kathy’s portrayal of the emotional and power interplay between the leading characters is both subtle and revealing. Also, one will not miss the delicate manner in which she validates disability and demonstrates that it is no hindrance to personal fulfilment, normality and the capacity to help others. This is a book that I will come back to from time to time.”
