Description

From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, there have been more than two dozen assassination attempts on the President of the United States.
Four have been successful.
But now, Beecher White--the hero of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Inner Circle--discovers a killer in Washington, D.C., who's meticulously re-creating the crimes of these four men. Historians have branded them as four lone wolves. But what if they were wrong?
Beecher is about to discover the truth: that during the course of a hundred years, all four assassins were secretly working together. What was their purpose? For whom do they really work? And why are they planning to kill the current President?
Beecher's about to find out. And most terrifyingly, he's about to come face-to-face with the fifth assassin.

    Excellent book... Page turner! I read this in 2 days. Very gripping story with some twists and surprises. The ending is somewhat unfulfilling but I believe it is setting up a sequel. I can't wait for that book.

    Just like the Inner Circle, this seems to be another story about Beecher but has no real conclusion. It's definitely a good read and I couldn't put either down, but who knows when the next one will be out to continue the story? What's going on with Clementine and Nico? What's Marshall really doing? What about Beecher and Marshall's fathers? What happens to Tot and Grace? So many things left unanswered.
  • Amazing

    This is my third Brad Meltzer novel I have read, and like the two others, I could not put I down. If you like mysteries with a lot of twists and turns, plus a little bit of history, then I recommend this book, but first read the Inner Circle so you know the background of the characters.
