Cliff Hanger! This book lost some steam in the middle. It dragged on a little too long to keep me completely interested, but once you wade through that portion of the book it gets going and I stayed up to read the last half of the book only to find out that there is obviously another in the series since this one provides no closure. Overall a good book, stick with it, it is worth it in the end although it leaves you with more questions than answers.

As always, Meltzer delivers an engaging plot with multiple layers. Throughout the book you will be guessing who the assassin is an like me, you will probably change your mind a few times. The Culper Ring figures prominently in this story and the tension between them and the President will definitely keep you wondering how it will all end. I recommend the book to any one who enjoys a good "whodunit" and has a conspiracy theorist mentality.

From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, there have been more than two dozen assassination attempts on the President of the United States.
But now, Beecher White discovers a killer in Washington, D.C., who's meticulously re-creating the crimes of these four men. Historians have branded them as four lone wolves. But what if they were wrong?
Beecher is about to discover the truth: that during the course of a hundred years, all four assassins were secretly working together. What was their purpose? For whom do they really work? And why are they planning to kill the current President?
Beecher's about to find out. And most terrifyingly, he's about to come face-to-face with the fifth assassin.
