Popularity 3
It's 1939 and a young White House staffer, congressman's son Philip Garber, has been found dead in the apartment of Pamela Rush-Hodgeborne, one of the First Lady's secretaries. The obvious suspect: English-born Pamela, who mixed lover Philip a fatal old-fashioned. (Cyanide in the bitters.) But Eleanor is sure that Pamela is innocent - despite suggestions that Pamela and Philip pulled off a diamond heist together back in England.
