With the Confederate Army firing on Fort Sumter, an invasion of Washington, DC, from Secessionist Virginia seems imminent. Lincoln's trusted aide, Adam Speed Quinn, and Quinn's friend Senator Jim Lane hastily assemble a motley crew of just over a hundred men and garrison them in the East Room at the White House. Dubbed the Frontier Guard, these rough-and-tumble patriots steel themselves for the inevitable attack. But at dawn, one of the Frontier Guard lies dead in the oval library, throat slit ear to ear. When Dr. Hilton examines the body, he makes a startling discovery that overturns all Quinn's assumptions about the murder. -- adapted from jacket.
