Winter 1777: A time that chills men's souls!
General George Washington's beleaguered army struggles to survive its first winter. Its only hope is a young immigrant. Lieutenant Jeremiah Creed, recently passed over for promotion, resolves to give his all for his new country and its cause. Creed must penetrate the British high command, but standing in his way is the ruthless Major Sandy Drummond, newly appointed head of British counterespionage. Around Creed swirls a cast of fictional and non-fictional characters, men and women from all walks of life, who are involved on both sides of the struggle. Creed leads his small band of spies on a series of daring missions. Along the way, he uncovers a British plot that could snuff out the flame of freedom in one dark blow. Complicating matters, Creed's best agent, the rakish rebel Roy Harry, is captured by the British. Creed forgoes his commander's orders and risks a daring mission to rescue Harry from the infamous New York prison - the Sugar House. To do this, he must draw on the beautiful Emily Stanley, a deep-cover agent for George Washington and Creed's secret love. Can the Winter Spy succeed? Not only Harry's fate, but that of the Continental Army and the new nation depends on it. Interwoven throughout The Winter Spy are exciting plots involving deception, covert operations, military and naval action, and espionage. This is Revolutionary War action and intrigue at its finest.
