To Outwit Them All - Paperback

by Peggy Wirgau (Author)

In the shadow of British-occupied New York City, a young woman steps into the most dangerous role of the American Revolution.

Betty Floyd, niece of a signer of the Declaration of Independence, hides her Patriot loyalties behind flawless Loyalist grace. Amid glittering balls and whispered confidences, she moves easily among Crown officers -- gathering intelligence while masking her true allegiance.

When a soldier she has befriended is brutally murdered, Betty is drawn into General George Washington's covert intelligence network, the Culper Ring. Her position in society makes her an invaluable asset. Each encounter carries the risk of exposure, especially when she attracts the attention of Major John André, Britain's charismatic Director of Intelligence, and finds herself navigating a perilous attraction she cannot afford.

As Benedict Arnold's treachery begins to unfold, the stakes rise beyond anything Betty imagined. One wrong step could betray the entire spy network -- and cost her life.

Inspired by the real, unnamed woman believed to have served within the Culper Ring, To Outwit Them All is a richly imagined tale of espionage, loyalty, and courage -- where history turns on secrets, and survival demands everything.

Will Betty outwit the enemy... or will her daring cost her all she holds dear?
