A Long Hidden Secret. An Unseen Enemy. A Dangerous Quest for the Truth. At the height of the US Civil War, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Scott is brought into the world of the fledgling US Secret Service. At the request of President Lincoln, Scott must do everything in his power to find a missing Confederate professor who has disappeared under suspicious circumstances. From Washington D.C., to Britain, to France, to Turkey and beyond, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Scott races to keep one-step ahead of a merciless and secret organization that operates in the shadows and is willing to do whatever it takes to get what they want. Take a journey back in time to 1864. A world on the brink of change…a time when you had to rely on your wits, your instincts, and sometimes your fists to stay alive.

An exciting sequel to The Devil's Path At the close of the Civil War, Colonel Scott finds himself once again pitted against a deadly foe, this time in Mexico and the stakes could not be higher. From Washington D.C., to a Confederate prison in Richmond, to French occupied Mexico, Alexander Scott is in a race with a shadowy organization known as The Order, who are determined to find a treasure that has not been seen for centuries. If they find it first, it could forever tilt the balance of power in the world. Helped by Kate O'Sullivan, a brilliant historian, and Thomas, a sailor and freed slave, Scott faces his greatest challenge to date.
