In 1945, as World War II nears its end, a ruthless female assassin prepares to take down the ultimate target: President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The coldly efficient killer's most dangerous weapon may very well be the element of surprise, but hackles are raised at the Secret Service folllowing a spate of mysterious deaths. Professor Mikhal Lammeck, an expert on the art of assassination, is called in--only to find himself at the center of a deadly cat-and-mouse game whose outcome could irrevocably change the course of world events.
