In this sequel to The Odyssey of Walker Garrett, follow Walker and Dixon in their new roles as Secret Service agents protecting Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt in an era of unprecedented political violence. Fending off would-be assassins from coast to coast, and confronting challenges at every turn, they handle crisis after crisis together. Finally, though, Walker returns to his Alabama home alone to resolve the question that had been tormenting him since he left to join the army five years earlier, and finds an unexpected answer that would change his life. Set in the years 1900-1903, the reader will see America as it was, in a time of turbulent change.
