Dina Ann Comolli as ELIZABETH, New York, August 2007.
This man, your husband. He would have committed murders. He would have discharged terror from ten thousand feet. Distant villages. Whole peoples. Wiped out on a whim. A Christian crusade. I saw it all. In my sleep. A zealot, a smirking zealot with God on his side and with an eye on his destiny, he would have killed and have killed and have slept in his cot like an infant at night.
***
A brutal assassination robs a nation of a charismatic politician, a man set to save it from corruption in the impending election. The murder thrusts his beautiful, icy widow into the limelight. As the people demand blood and vengeance, she must choose between the prospect of immense power and her overwhelming desire for the assassin.
