Card shark Hailey Gordon and ex-con Nick Patterson (fresh off uncovering one of the biggest secrets of the Revolutionary War alongside American history professor Adrian Jensen) now find themselves in Philadelphia, immersed in the history of Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere. The Liberty Bell, Charles Willson Peale's Museum, the Tomb of The Unknown Revolutionary Soldier -- all are connected to Franklin in amazing ways. The more they discover, the more shocking the implications become. These long-buried secrets Hailey and Nick are chasing have previously only been known by a select few, who would prefer to keep it that way. A woman known as The Heiress, part of a mysterious organization known as The Family, is one of these rare historians. After generations of members have failed before her, The Heiress has been tasked to finally unearth the alchemical secrets Revere and Franklin may have discovered during their lifetimes. And she's not about to let Nick and Hailey get in her way"-- Adapted from publisher.
