For something from out of the cloudy mists of Arthurian lore has come back to plague a frightened American abroad. And a remarkable truth about a fabled king and a medieval treasure could ultimately make Jess Tregarth very rich...or very dead.

With the Cuba plot bungled and Bobby Kennedy chasing down the mob like never before, Chicago boss Sam Giancana sees the entire Kennedy Administration as one no-good snake in the grass. And the only way to kill a snake is to cut off its head.
