When a Loyalist spy’s treachery
sends the Continental Army into panic and near destruction, General George
Washington faces a crisis in command. During the desperate battle that follows,
an obscure lieutenant named Jeremiah Creed leads survivors from the Maryland
Continental Line Regiment to safety behind the defenses of Brooklyn.
Impressed with Creed’s audacity and courage, Washington
taps him to lead a handpicked team of men. Their mission: espionage. So begins
an unlikely partnership among Washington, his intelligence advisor Colonel Robert
Fitzgerald, and Creed, who now finds himself enmeshed in a shadow war against
the skillful and experienced dragoon officer Major Sandy Drummond, the newly
appointed chief of British intelligence.
Creed’s leadership, resourcefulness and heroism, combine
with help from Emily Stanley, the beautiful daughter of a Loyalist doctor, in a
desperate struggle for the vital intelligence needed for Washington’s army, and
the new nation, to survive. Can The Patriot Spy succeed?
