Admidst all of these historic events, a murder poses this country's greatest threat, and presents Eleanor Roosevelt with what may be her most challenging case. In her tenth investigative outing since her son Elliott began featuring her as stor of his much-acclaimed mystery series, the First Lady's efforts are sparked bya strange not delivered to her during a White House dinner for the judiciary.

How he got into the White House, and who made sure he would never leave, make for a richly entertaining whodunit mastered and solved by the First Lady of Mystery Eleanor Roosevelt.
