Esperanza Harper – Espy to her friends – is a high-powered attorney for the US Department of Justice, and the head of a covert task force charged with investigating economic terrorism. When the head of the secret Society of the Cincinnati, Senator Garrett Crandall, dies in a freak car accident, Espy gets a call that points to murder. A murder that sets in motion a chain of events that leads Espy and her team to a secret cache of decades-old documents. Documents that contain clues not to just the murder of Senator Crandall, but to the truth behind who really committed the most shocking murder in our country’s history – the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Clues that send Espy and her team racing across the country –racing against time – before the deadly killers can strike again. In Codename: Blackjack, NYT Bestselling Authors Rusty McClure (Crosley: Two Brothers And A Business Empire That Transformed The Nation) and David Stern (The Blair Witch Project Dossier) have teamed up to craft a page-turner of the highest order – a thriller with elements ripped from today’s headlines. SAGAS OF THE CINCINNATI: They have been with us since our nation’s founding. A secret society composed of patriots of all creeds and colors, drawn from all walks of life. Hidden in plain sight, hidden beneath the banner of a Revolutionary War organization formed by our country’s founding fathers, they come together when America’s need is greatest to fight the forces of evil our government cannot.
