Many years ago murder, theft, and intrigue stalked the streets of the world's most influential city, and now that story can at last be unveiled! A daring gold heist took place in the chaos of post-World War II Italy. Mysteriously, the affected government never admitted to this crippling theft - nor did the suspected thieves appear to be rolling in wealth. And no sign of the missing bullion was ever found. Flash twenty years forward, when the thieves' conspiracy begins to unravel on a bitter January night in 1967. A beautiful girl has her throat slit on a railroad siding within sight of the Capitol building, and death stalks the broad avenues and classical monuments of Washington, D.C. The attempt to solve her gruesome death leads back to the bullion theft, through cold-blooded killings and thrilling pursuits, to an astonishing discovery. America's capital city has been harboring a secret for years - and it must be exposed before more lives are lost.
