The North Spy - Paperback

by S. W. O'Connell (Author)

The Revolutionary War was also a war of espionage, sabotage, and deception, and all three combine with traditional warfare in this tale as General Washington desperately tries to learn the intentions of his British foes: General William Howe and General "Gentleman John" Burgoyne. Will they strike south, or will they strike north? In another audacious gamble, Washington sends his best agent on a high-risk mission behind enemy lines and hundreds of miles away.

Summer 1777: Jeremiah Creed is handed his most dangerous assignment yet - to assume the identity of a British officer, with the mission of subverting the plan of an ambitious general and an army of British Regulars, German professionals, Canadian woodsmen, and Iroquois warriors. If he fails, the American War for Independence could be lost.
