A reimagining of the story behind Agent 355--a New York society girl
and spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War--perfect for
fans of Julie Berry's The Lovely War.
Rebellious Frannie Tasker knows little about the war between England and
its thirteen colonies in 1776, until a shipwreck off her home in Grand
Bahama Island presents an unthinkable opportunity. The body of a young
woman floating in the sea gives Frannie the chance to escape her brutal
stepfather--and she takes it.
Assuming the identity of the drowned Emmeline Coates, Frannie is rescued
by a British merchant ship and sails with the crew to New York. For the
next three years, Frannie lives a lie as Miss Coates, swept up in a
courtship by a dashing British lieutenant. But after witnessing the
darker side of the war, she realizes that her position gives her power.
Soon she's eavesdropping on British officers, risking everything to pass
information on to George Washington's Culper spy ring as agent 355.
Frannie believes in the fight for American liberty--but what will it
cost her? Inspired by the true 355 and rich in historical detail and
intrigue, this is the story of an unlikely New York society girl turned
an even unlikelier spy.
