The Call House: A Washington Novel

A young miss from Nowhere, USA. The seat of American power. A job that might make this good girl go bad…

Washington, DC, 1941. Mattie Simon is ready to trade in the dirt roads of her small town for the bright lights of the city. Accepting a high-paying position without bothering to ask for any details, she stumbles into work as a call girl to the rich and influential. Only she’s too shy to perform the expected services.

With a cop and a congressman head-over-heels for her, Mattie is caught in a love triangle that could turn into a jaw-dropping scandal. And when the FBI and DC police compete to see who can run the more ambitious war on vice, her innocence may be no defense from a calamitous crackdown.

In a hypnotizing metropolis that can corrupt anyone, can Mattie survive the Capitol’s sordid schemes?

The Call House is a hilarious standalone historical fiction novel based on a true story. If you like tongue-in-cheek dialogue, bumbling naivete, and fast-paced plots, then you’ll adore C.P. Stiles’s sharp-eyed treatment of past misdeeds on the Potomac.
