Plot:
Four presidents of the United States have been
assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each
murder seemingly unrelated. But what if those presidents were all
killed for the shocking same reason: a clause contained in the United
States Constitution?
This is the question faced by former Justice Department operative
Cotton Malone. When President Danny Daniels is nearly killed in the
heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his life to foil the
murder—only to find himself at odds with the Commonwealth, a
secret society of pirates first assembled during the American
Revolution.
Racing across the nation and taking to the high seas, Malone and
Cassiopeia Vitt must break a secret cipher originally possessed by
Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and
unearth a document forged by the Founding Fathers
themselves—one powerful enough to make the Commonwealth
unstoppable.
