Book description
In 1864, at the height of the American Civil War, a valuable treasure went missing near Sion Crossing, Georgia. Now Senator Cookridge, chairman of the new Atlantic Defence Committee, wants spycatcher David Audley to do some private research into the affair.
But when the opportunity arises, Audley’s unpopular colleague Oliver St John Latimer jumps at the chance to gain a feather in his cap, and persuades Cookridge that he is a very acceptable substitute for Audley.
In flying to Georgia, Latimer has made his first wrong move in a deadly and intricate game he doesn’t even know he’s playing…
