Description
Washington, D.C., 1885. On the night of President Cleveland's inauguration, four of the city's most respected Black businessmen are attacked simultaneously. Two die. Two survive — including Professor Sylvester Watkins, who knows the moment it happens that this was no robbery. They knew his name. They were sent for him.
Working alongside Commander Nathan Tower and a network of quietly brilliant operatives, Watkins begins to pull apart a conspiracy built on one of the most painful chapters in American history: the collapse of the Freedman's Bank, which wiped out the life savings of forty thousand Black depositors in 1874 and left wounds that have never healed. Someone has spent the decade since building on that wreckage — using businessmen who were helped after the collapse as unwitting conduits for congressional bribes, blocking a U.S. naval base in Alaska that a foreign government cannot afford to see built.
The man at the center of it has been in place for twenty years. His cover is impeccable. His methods are professional. And when Tower's team gets close, he reaches for the one leverage point that can stop them: a young man in love with the wrong woman, and a locked case full of documents that could destroy everyone involved.
The Freedman Legacy is historical espionage fiction at the intersection of intelligence tradecraft, Gilded Age Washington, and the long aftermath of the Civil War — for readers who want their history dark, their plots layered, and their characters human enough to surprise them.
"The constant war. Victories are temporary. There is always another battle."
