The Assassins Gallery by David L. Robbins
This book started out so good - about a secret multinational band of spies and saboteurs being trained in Scotland during WWII. That is awesome. If this book would have stayed there we would have really been in business. But it moved on to a suspected plot to assassinate FDR carried out by none other than a real assassin - a Persian woman trained in the ways of the assassins of yore. Which seems interesting, and I did appreciate the many ways she thought of to kill FDR, you have to admire her thinking outside the box and tenacity. But the book was too long, I got bored around the middle and just had to hurry up and finish so I could know the ending. Not a bad book at all, but definitely dragged on. And I didn't love the MMC, or his friend Dag. Or Judith or any character for that matter. It would have been nice to like any of the characters in the book. But it was definitely an interesting concept.
