Plot synopsis

More than two-dozen would-be assassins have targeted Presidents of the United States. Only four were successful: John Wilkes Booth, Charles J. Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz, and Lee Harvey Oswald.

Archivist Beecher White - hero of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Inner Circle - uncovers a new assassin in Washington, D.C., mimicking the crimes of those four assassins. History has always believed the four killers were lone wolves, but Beecher thinks there may be more than meets the eye. Beecher discovers that all four assassins were working together over the course of a hundred years. But questions still remain to be answered: Why were they working together? Who do they work for? And what are their plans for the current President? Beecher and the team from The Inner Circle return to uncover the answers and face down the fifth assassin.
