An epic tale spanning the long years of the American Revolution. Two spies - one British and one American - struggle to further their respective side's cause and destroy each other in the process. Neither man knows the other's identity but each is caught up eventually in the outcome of Benedict Arnold's treason, and the final days of the british occuption of New york.

Though taking place against the background of the colorful and turbulent years of the American Revolution, this is primarily a tale of espionage and betrayal. Within the fabric of the earth-shaking events of those times, the author has interwoven a set of characters who could have credibly existed, but who are, of course, pure fiction.
