Ten days to zero-zero

There is a new Camelot in Washington. Daniel Galbraith, the vigorous, poker-playing new US President, is determined to recapture America's lead in the battle for world public opinion on total nuclear disarmament. When the Soviet premier dares him to sign an agreement to get rid of all remaining strategic weapons in six months Galbraith counters with ten days!

Within hours a high-tech female poisoner has been recruited to assassinate both himself and the Soviet leader. Galbraith faces 'International Halloween' - every spook in the world has a vested interest in seeing that a Zero-Zero Agreement never gets signed - and calls upon the only man he can trust to see him through: his oldest friend, and brother-in-law, Jack Lowel.
