The President's Shadow
There are stories no one knows. Hidden stories. I find those stories for a living.
To most, it looks like Beecher White has an ordinary job. A young staffer with the National Archives in Washington, D.C., he's responsible for safekeeping the government's most important documents . . . and, sometimes, its most closely held secrets.
But there are a powerful few who know his other role. Beecher is a member of the Culper Ring, a 200-year-old secret society founded by George Washington and charged with protecting the Presidency. Now the current occupant of the White House needs the Culper Ring's help. The alarming discovery of the buried arm has the President's team in a rightful panic. Who buried the arm? How did they get past White House security? And most important: What's the message hidden in the arm's closed fist? Indeed, the puzzle inside has a clear intended recipient, and it isn't the President. It's Beecher, himself.
Beecher's investigation will take him back to one of our country's greatest secrets and point him toward the long, carefully hidden truth about the most shocking history of all: family history.

Rated 3 starsThe President's Shadow
By Threasa, Verified Purchase
The book was exciting, and I love all the history you learn in the book. It is a fast read with lots of action. You have to wonder who the bad guys really are and who are the good guys.

The third of the Culper Ring series. What a thriller. Really makes you think about our politics today. Wish there were many, many more. I really don't know of another author quite like Meltzer with this particular subject. If you love mystery, intrigue and thought provoking reads, don't miss this.
