Über dieses E-Book
A Chicago crime reporter is out to stop a local hate group from assassinating President Truman in this historical crime thriller.
Chicago, 1948. As President Harry Truman prepares to visit Chicago in the final tense days of his reelection campaign, police reporter Steve “Snap” Malek receives an ominous threat. An anti-Semitic group plans to assassinate the president for officially recognizing the new state of Israel. When Malek refuses the hate group’s demands for newspaper publicity, they begin killing Chicagoans—one a day, including a policeman and a fireman.
As the so-called New Reich promises more of the same, Malek begins his dogged hunt to uncover their true identities. Along the way, he meets maverick automaker Preston Tucker, and even gets the chance to drive the revolutionary Tucker Torpedo. But when Truman arrives in Chicago for a parade, time is running out for Malek to stifle the deadly plot.
