Thievery and deceit in the year 1775 threaten to undermine one of America's pivotal encounters between a bunch of young rebels labeled as traitors by the crown and by brutal British thugs roaming the thirteen colonies. They took and did what they pleased, even if only on a cruel whim.
Two-and-a-half centuries later, an assassin who fancies himself a committed patriot, murders an innocent retired couple in 1989, but just for the sake of greed? Or something else?
Environmental Police Officer Sam Travis and FBI Behavioral Analyst Special Agent Letty Mather think so. It is possible a contemporary cabal seeks to bury old secrets, including the discovery of a Revolutionary War treasure. But why?
Sam and field agent wannabe Letty suspect something is brewing beyond this double homicide. Will the investigation of these two murders lead them to discover the genesis of an insidious conspiracy of frightening proportions? What's the worst that could happen if Sam, Letty, and a plethora of state and federal agencies fail to do their jobs? A question nobody dares answer.
