Who was the Mysterious 355?
A semi-finalist in the GOETHE Book Awards for post-1750s Historical Fiction
AMC’s Turn and the Broadway musical Hamilton have brought Revolutionary spies such as Robert Townsend and Hercules Mulligan back into the light. But what about the unsung women spies, including the mysterious 355, that could “outwit them all?â€
British sympathizer Meg Moncrieffe expects to find the carefree America she remembers as a youth when she returns from her Irish boarding school. Instead she finds the new country at war, with her father on one side and her new love, Aaron Burr, on the other. When her misguided attempt to end the war results in dire consequences for the Continental Army, Meg switches allegiances in order to amend the damage she caused.
After her husband Jonathan is captured by the British and dies aboard one of the notorious prison ships, a pregnant Elizabeth Burgin realizes she is stronger than she once thought. When a prominent member of the Culper Ring enlists her help on a heist of the prison ships, Elizabeth readily accepts, putting herself and her family in jeopardy in order to save the lives of strangers.
