Murder in Georgetown (An Eleanor Roosevelt Mystery)

Despite the evidence against her, Mrs. Roosevelt refuses to believe that Jessica could be guilty of murder. Not only is she a personal friend, Jessica has proven invaluable to Mrs. Roosevelt's husband, the President, by passing along information gleaned while working as a secretary in the office of FDR's most potent political rival: Huey Long, the Kingfish. Determined to clear Jessica's name by solving the crime, Mrs. Roosevelt uncovers a trail of deceit and greed that leads all the way to the privileged world of Boston banking and the dark underworld of the Irish Mob, her every move shadowed by a notorious female assassin whose calling card is a fiery mane of hair.

Murder in Georgetown is a warmly rewarding look at a fascinating era in our history, and at a woman beloved by her son and her country--Eleanor Roosevelt.
