Strand: Upheaval
About this book
1765. The King is coming to Boston. And Sean Gunn plans to kill him.
Gunn has established himself as a prosperous Boston merchant—respectable, successful, and deeply in love with Suzanne, the French courtesan who abandoned espionage to build a life with him. Their future together isn't a cover anymore. It's everything he never thought he could have.
Now King George III is visiting the colonies with reforms that could reshape the empire. Gunn sees an opportunity. Revolutionary sentiment is dying. One bullet could restore the Stuart line and avenge Culloden.
But the King isn't coming as a conqueror. He's bringing genuine concessions. Suzanne begs him to abandon the mission. And the King's security chief, the formidable Harrington, is already hunting threats with exotic farclanger technology Gunn can't match.
Kill a king who might be the colonies' best hope, or betray the cause he's served his entire life. Pull the trigger, and he loses Suzanne and everything they've built. Walk away, and he becomes the traitor who let history slip through his fingers.
In the shadow of empire, a spy will learn what he truly owes the living.
