On the eve of World War II, Lanny Budd reenters the deadly snake pit of Nazi Germany as Roosevelt's spy -- in the pulse-pounding, Pulitzer Prizeā€"winning series.

An American art expert raised in a world of European wealth and privilege, Lanny Budd is dedicated to his socialist ideals and to combatting the twin scourges of Nazism and Fascism. In 1937, a chance encounter in New York with Professor Charles Alston -- his boss at the Paris Peace Conference and now one of President Roosevelt's top advisors -- provides Lanny with the opportunity to make a profound difference.
 
Appointed Presidential Agent 103, the international art dealer embarks on a secret assignment that takes him back into the Third Reich as the Allied powers prepare to cede Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler in a futile attempt to avoid war. But Lanny's motivations are not just political: The woman he loves has fallen into the brutal hands of the Gestapo, and Lanny will risk everything to save her.
 
Presidential Agent is the action-packed fifth installment of Upton Sinclair's Pulitzer Prizeā€"winning series that brings the first half of the twentieth century to dramatic life. An astonishing mix of history, adventure, and romance, the Lanny Budd Novels are a testament to the breathtaking scope of the author's vision and his singular talents as a storyteller.
