The indomitable First Lady Eleanor Rossevelt is back! This time she must thwart a wartime assassination plot aimed at destabilizing the Axis powers. It's Christmas 1941, and while the rest of the country prepares for the holiday, in the nations' Capitol attentions turn to the increasing Nazi threat as the U.S. enters WWII. In a White House fortified with rooftop anti-aircraft guns, President Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor prepare for the arrival of England's Prime Minister, Winston Churchill, and his entourage. But despite the heightened security, there's been an intruder. When the mystery man is found murdered in the walk-in freezer of the White House pantry, an ice pick planted in his skull, Eleanor, fearing the worst, suspects a plot against the President - or Churchill - or both!

White House executive chef Ollie Paras has to put her own interests on the back burner when a kindly electrician is electrocuted to death, and the First Lady’s nephew dies in an apparent suicide less than 24 hours after cleaning shrimp with Ollie. Ollie suspects something fishy is going on. She’ll have to watch her back—and find a killer unlikely to be pardoned.
