From the back of the book:

A matter of diplomacy

Who bludgeoned a pretty young Press Office secretary to death--right in the Blue Room of the White House? That's what a shocked Elenor Roosevelt aims to find out. A friend, a lover, and even a Rockefeller are being questioned, along with the White House staff. But with a house full of visiting Russian diplomats headed by Soviet Foriegn 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 negotions...and tip the balance of world power!

"Roosevelt once again captures the essence of the 'cozy' crime drama--sharp minds and nasty deeds liberally sauced with period ambience"
