The White House is aflutter with preparations and swarming with extra Secret Service agents and soldiers. So when a body is discovered in the Lincoln Bedroom while the conferees are still in session, Eleanor Roosevelt knows that in order to keep the murder (as well as the conference) a secret from the prying eyes of the press, not to mention foreign agents, she must solve it herself. And when she learns that the victim was part of a plot to assassinate the President, she embarks on a daring plan to trap the assassin, using FDR as bait. Now, Eleanor's skills will be put to the ultimate test as she races to solve the mystery before the assassin strikes again....AUTHORBIO: ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT, son of Franklin and Eleanor, was a former writer and rancher.
