Philadelphia, July 2, 1776: a mysterious young man rides two days without rest to add his voice — and his vote — to the birth of a nation. Two and a half centuries later, his legacy resurfaces in a case that will push Anthony Star and his covert unit SECURE to their limits.

It starts small: a hundred-year-old abandoned brick factory, a forgotten clay mine, a collection of priceless colonial currency from 1779. Then a local businessman turns up brutally murdered — and Star can't tell if it's about the money or something far older. When priceless Chinese artifacts are sabotaged and a three-thousand-year-old relic vanishes, the case widens into something much bigger.

A female Chinese spy. A dead Australian intelligence agent. A terrorist from Star's own past. All three are walking the streets of Philadelphia after dark — and Star suspects they're behind a scheme to steal confidential banking data for millions of customers, threatening to trigger a financial meltdown.

Then illegal guns start disappearing. Custom Russian sniper shells turn up during a joint operation with the ATF. Clay bricks vanish from a historic restoration site in the dead of night. As the pieces connect, Star realizes a criminal mastermind may be planning something far worse: a terrorist attack on Philadelphia's Fourth of July celebration, at the heart of American independence itself.

Can Star's team and cutting-edge tech stop a catastrophe two hundred and fifty years in the making — and still manage to SECURE Independence Hall?

The third explosive installment in the SECURE series, packed with espionage, history, and edge-of-your-seat action.
