This second book in the series takes place aboard the Lusitania in 1911 (four years before it sank), where an assassin is after former president Theodore Roosevelt. Nate tries to use Harry Houdini's teachings on observation and insight to find and stop the would-be killer. Authentic historical details combine with suspense and quick pacing for an exciting read.
