This revised classic espionage thriller follows FBI agent William Cochrane's race against time to prevent a Nazi spy from assassinating FDR. Set in 1939, as Roosevelt approaches the end of his second term, Europe is in turmoil with the Nazis expanding their reach and isolationist sentiment growing in America. Amidst this chaos, Hitler sends his secret weapon, an agent known as 'Siegfried,' who blends seamlessly into middle-class America, capable of changing identities and personalities at will. Cochrane, a skilled banker and demolitions expert who has infiltrated German intelligence, is tasked by Roosevelt with the daunting mission of locating this deadly spy before he executes his plan to eliminate the president at a pivotal moment in history. As Cochrane teams up with British Intelligence agent Laura Worthington, they close in on their target, who has powerful allies within the U.S. government. The stakes are high, and the potential consequences of failure could alter the course of the war and the future of freedom itself. With complex characters, sharp dialogue, and a gripping plot, this tale immerses readers in a world where individual rights are at risk, and the fate of the free world hangs in the balance.
