A chilling, ingenious brain-teaser by two masters of the psychological thriller. Nicholas Augustine was a rancher and a railroad enthusiast, a popular maverick whose meteoric rise to the Presidency dumbfounded every self-styled expert in Washington.

The media increased their vicious daily attacks, the leaders of the party began to abandon their own President. And then someone was murdered inside the White House..
