It is 1943 and upon the eve of the Trident Conference-a highly classified council attended by FDR, Winston Churchill, and Dwight Eisenhower with the purpose of planning an invasion of Western Europe-the White House is aflutter with preparations and the presence of extra Secret Service agents and soldiers. 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. Eleanor soon learns that the victim, Paul Weyrich, was a White House employee-one of the President's top advisors-who had been having an affair with his secretary. At first glance, it looks to be a crime of passion, instigated by Mr. Weyrich's refusal to marry his secretary. However, the deeper Eleanor digs into the case, the more clouded and uncertain the investigation becomes. Gradually, Eleanor discovers that the victim was part of a plot to assassinate the President, and she embarks on a daring plan to trap the assassin, using FDR as bait. Eleanor's skills will be put to the ultimate test as she must race to solve the mystery before the assassin strikes again. As the intrepid and charming Mrs. Roosevelt engages in her latest bit of Hawkshawing, readers are treated to all the historical re-creation and rich storytelling that have become hallmarks of the series. This satisfying wartime whodunit starring America's First Lady of Mystery is a warmly rewarding look at a fascinating era, and at a woman beloved by her family and her country-Eleanor Roosevelt.

"In this, the twelfth detective novel written by Elliott Roosevelt, Eleanor Roosevelt is the First Lady of crime detection steadfastly seeking to protect the innocent and punish the guilty." "The year is 1940. Great Britain is withdrawing its expeditionary force from the beaches at Dunkirk. American isolationists openly predict that Hitler will invade and conquer England before the summer is over. The biggest question in the U.S.: Will Franklin D. Roosevelt seek an unprecendented third term as President of the United States?" "A State dinner at the White House. White tie. Vance Gibson, a handsome, up-and-coming senator, perhaps with presidential ambitions of his own, leaves his table, complaining he is ill. His wife, Amelia, rises and follows him. A few minutes later the entire White House rings with anguished screams. Running into the East Room, Mrs. Roosevelt follows just behind the Secret Service men who find Senator Gibson lying dead on the floor in a pool of blood. His shrieking wife kneels beside him, his blood soaking her gown." "Once again, Mrs. Roosevelt assumes the now-familiar role given to her by her son Elliott. In her own inimitable way, the First Lady turned sleuth gets to the bottom of a complex, intriguing political mystery."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

In 1940, the world was hurtling toward war. And in Washington, D.C., the First Lady was hunting for a killer.

Fine food and drink are not a hallmark of FDR's White House. But bad bubbly isn't the reason Senator Vance Gibson staggers away from a state dinner. Moments after his departure, the man is dead in the East Room, his throat slit from ear to ear.

The world is being engulfed by the flames of war. The British have been defeated at Dunkirk and France is collapsing. While FDR agonizes over a third term, and the White House is invaded by movers, shakers, and plotters, the First Lady can't help but investigate the murder of Senator Gibson, a man who was irresistible to women, including Greta Garbo herself. Examining the suspects, from jealous husbands to a corrupt politician, Eleanor finds herself in a steamy world of sex and secrets. But for the President's wife, the most shocking truth is yet to come.
