Dear Librarian, Imagine a spy thriller set in enemy-occupied New York during the American Revolution. Now imagine that the heroes use invisible ink and secret ciphers, embark on dangerous covert operations, fight buccaneers, help save the Continental Army from defeat, and escape hanging by the closest of shaves. And lastly, imagine that George Washington himself runs these spies . . . Wouldn't that be a pretty exciting thriller? But WASHINGTON'S SPIES: THE STORY OF AMERICA'S FIRST SPY RING isn't fiction-it's all true. The "Culper Ring" was the most secret espionage network of the Revolution, and I reveal how its agents spied the daylights out of the British. Are your readers fans of Robert Littell and Robert Ludlum? Are they history buffs who enjoyed David McCullough's 1776 and Joseph Ellis's Founding Brothers? Then they'll love WASHINGTON'S SPIES. To find out more, please visit my website, www.rosewriter.com, where you can read an excerpt, email me, and watch a video. And click here to enter our sweepstakes. We're giving away 10 copies of WASHINGTON'S SPIES. Best, Alexander Rose
