Abigail Trench : A Novel of Washington's Spy Ring - Randy Overbeck
Randy Overbeck
A vivid, propulsive Revolutionary-era thriller with the spy-craft verve of the streaming hit TURN: Washington's Spies and the electricity of 1776's New York that Hamilton lovers will recognize, this story is inspired by the lone female operative in Washington's spy ring. In occupied New York, a schoolteacher with everything to lose turns information into a weapon, threading between Redcoats and rebels as plots against Washington gather steam. � After rogue Redcoats assault her and strip her family's Long Island farm, Abigail Trench fights to survive in New York City-tutoring in a high-ranking British officer's Water Street household by day, navigating taverns, informants, and soldiers by night. Through Abigail's keen eyes-and a counter-narrative following a principled British major-the novel renders the moral gray zones of occupation with gritty intimacy. As rumors swirl of a strike at General Washington, Abigail's vantage inside upper-crust parlors and rough waterfront rooms makes her an ideal courier-and a target.� This historical thriller delivers high tension, textured world-building, and a captivating heroine who put it all on the line for freedom.
