There was a secret Journal, which has never been published, and another more secret, the Secret of Secrets, which never will be published. -John Adams, 2 November 1815
Sofia Auru-Soto, a psychologist who has made a name for herself rationalizing the unexplained, is asked to attend an unrelated presentation by the mysterious Spanish Professor Antonio del Mar. Little to nothing is known about Del Mar, yet he has managed to attract the pinnacle of Washington D.C.'s press corps, claiming to know of a secret pact agreed to between George Washington and the Spanish king, Charles III, which could upend what we know of the Revolutionary War and its aftermath.
The morning takes a shocking turn when during his speech, the professor narrowly escapes an attempt on his life and whispers three cryptic words to Sofia before disappearing.
While baffled as to why he'd entrust the clue to her and unsettled by its trailing dangers, Sofia can't pass on this exclusive opportunity to track down the obscure pact. So, joining forces with her sister Lily, a historian, and despite the acute feeling Del Mar has an agenda of his own, Sofia embarks on another remarkable quest that will lead to an unexpected discovery.
The Quixote Pact is a multilayered story that weaves together true history, a riveting search for a buried secret, and an inspiring revelation.
