how the conquerors of Napoleon made love, war, and peace at the Congress of Vienna

A simple black-and-white photograph taken during the 1964 Cassius Clay–Sonny Liston fight on Miami Beach may hold the key to a horrific, politically motivated crime forty-two years earlier. After it mysteriously reappears, the photo is burned in an act of arson that sets off a modern-day killing spree reaching from the quiet neighborhoods of Miami to the back corridors of the White House.What the killer did not know is that a copy of the photograph still remains. When it falls into Thorn's hands, he and everyone close to him-including his beloved Alexandra-become the targets of madmen and trained hitmen, each of whom has a powerful motive to see the photograph destroyed...and each of whom will go to murderous lengths to make it disappear forever
