Oh! write a novel where no one knows what killed someone, and it turns out it was simply pollution, and then everyone wonders why no one is brought to justice about it. You could do 9/11 and the false EPA reports.
On a less political note - rent the movie Gosford Park - its a great murder mystery.
Set the novel in a place you know, it's the easiest.

maybe something about an inheritance from a rich old great uncle or something. keep killing characters off every so often. include faked deaths, traps, accidents, murder, etc. but never reveal who did it until the end
