A rash of political deaths alerts a New York cop to an international assassination plot. At a crime scene, Harry Golding has no fear.

A skinny young conspiracy theorist demands to know what the police are doing about the recent death of a presidential candidate. The answer is, they're doing nothing. The man died of a heart attack.
