THE PHIPPS CONSPIRACY opens when Dr. Lispeth Beauregard finds her mentor dead in the backroom of a Boston strip club. The beautiful and brainy professor of American history begins to unravel an historical puzzle with the mysterious Augustus Phipps at its center. Her curiosity awakens the slumbering giant, The Legion of Alexander. The Legion is an Illuminati-like organization that has controlled the American economy since its founding by Alexander Hamilton on a bloody Christmas night in 1800. The Legion sends its top agent, Raven, to kill Dr. Beauregard before she can uncover a scandal and cover-up so huge that the 200 year-old secret could topple the government of the United States.
