From the Pulitzer Prize-winning series, an American spy goes undercover in Nazi Germany in this historical thriller from the author of The Jungle.

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 New York Times-bestselling author Upton Sinclair's Pulitzer Prize-winning series that brings the first half of the twentieth century to dramatic life.
