Synopsis: ● "It is a time of hope for the peoples of the thirteen American states only recently united under the Articles of the Confederation. Now it must face one final challenge: the body of an important Loyalist has been discovered within the halls of Congress itself and unless the killer can be found and the mystery solved, an angered Britain could use the affair to abrogate the recently approved Treaty of Paris. Follow Thomas Jefferson; inventor, writer, agrarian, scientist, and some-time politician as he matches wits with such fellow patriots as Alexander Hamilton and Samuel Adams while risking his life and reputation to unravel a sinister plot that could leave the United States stillborn in the cradle of liberty!" ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as of 2022-08-10.
