Who bludgeoned a pretty young Press Office secretary to death - right in the Blue Room of the White House? That's what a shocked Eleanor Roosevelt aims to find out. A friend, a lover and ever a Rockefeller are being questioned, along with the White House staff. But with a house full of visiting Russian diplomats headed by Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov, the First Lady's sleuthing may take a dangerous turn. Molotov may know something his hosts don't know, but questioning the Russians about murder may shatter some delicate negotiations .. and tip the balance of world power!

Roosevelt's son has her character and the dynamics of the White House down pat, besides he's a top notch story teller.
