When the slain body of a White House police officer is discovered outside the President's bedroom door, our favorite First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, must comb Washington D.C.'s underworld to expose the President's would-be assassin before he strikes again. . . It is 1933 and the President and the First Lady have just settled into the White House to face a nation in the depths of the Depression and world on the brink of war. But chaos erupts right in their own home when the body of a White House police officer is discovered at the foot of the President's bedroom door. Eleanor Roosevelt smells a rat and knows that the crime must be solved internally without attracting the attention of the press or the FBI's J. Edgar Hoover. Firmly committed to her husband's safety, Eleanor enlists the confidential assistance of D.C. Lieutenant Edward Kennelly and faithful Secret Service agent Stanislaw Sxcygiel to help her investigate. With their aid, Eleanor is able to keep up appearances at her many social engagements while managing the secret investigation and examining clues.Faced with a trail of evidence leading to stolen nights of passion in the White House, underground tunnels, insider trading, mob connections, and speakeasies, Eleanor uncovers suspicious characters and motives galore. It takes discreet ingenuity and social propriety to continue rubbing elbows with famous contemporaries and fulfilling her duties as First Lady while a top secret assassination investigation is in full swing-but can Eleanor stop the killer before he makes another attempt on FDR's life?

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.

When the newest member of the Federal Treasury Board is found naked in his Georgetown townhouse with a hole in his head and an earring belonging to his latest mistress on the floor next to him, Lt. Kennelly of the Washington, D.C., police force is convinced he's looking at an easy conviction. Which probably would have been the case if Eleanor Roosevelt hadn't gotten involved.
Jessica Dee, the dead man's mistress, claims she had nothing to do with the murder. Mrs. Roosevelt believes her, which gives her no choice but to open her own investigation. She gradually uncovers a trail of clues that lead from the bloody back alleys of Washington to the genteel duplicity of the Boston banking world, a web of deceit and passion which centers on a mysterious woman with flaming red hair and a fondness for murder.

Judge Horace Blackwell is found stabbed to death in his room at the Executive Mansion, and Sara Carter, a black maid, is summarily arrested. Faced with the steamy facts of Blackwell's private life--his mob connections and the related death of a speakeasy bouncer--Eleanor finds suspects and motives aplenty. It takes sharp wits and common sense to solve a crime while serving tea to the ladies of the "crusade for decency", but can Eleanor save Sara from the electric chair--and save Washington from a cunning killer?.

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.
