This novel gives the reader an outstanding view of what it was like to be in Washington, D.C. during the early days of WW II.  The main character, Wade Brooks, is an appealing young man who serves on the staff of S.C. Senator James F. Byrnes.  Byrnes later was tapped by FDR to be head of War Mobilization, a job many would call "assistant president."  Washington is a place of power and mystery and the police and FBI are butting heads to solve some unusual murders.  In the midst of all this, Wade Brooks becomes romantically involved with a pretty assistant at the British Embassy.  This story will keep you reading late into the night.
