A Novel
by Jenn Bregman
After the last heir of Alexander Hamilton's line is murdered, her heartbroken husband and best friend team up in this twisty thriller where a mysterious death uncovers not just an ancient secret society, but the treasures it holds—perfect for fans of Dan Brown and Sarah Penner.
The more they know, the more danger they're in.
When Elizabeth Walker, the last heir of the Alexander Hamilton line, is tragically killed by a subway train in New York, foul play is immediately suspected. Elizabeth had been terrified, frantic, and manic during her last days, running mysterious errands, searching for a strange antique key, and sending cryptic messages to her best friend, Sarah Brockman.
The morning after Elizabeth's death, a box of tattered documents lands on Sarah's doorstep, confirming her suspicions about Elizabeth's strange behavior and shocking death. She brings the box to Elizabeth's grieving husband, Ralph. Working together, they are stunned to discover that Elizabeth was part of a secret society established by Hamilton himself to keep the United States just and free, its influence woven into every corner of the country's history. As Sarah and Ralph race through the streets of New York to uncover the truth behind Elizabeth's death, they must stop an ingenious and sinister plot before someone else catches up to them–and the secrets of Hamilton's society are lost forever.
With fascinating details from the shadows of American history, The Last Hamilton is a sweeping and fast-paced thriller reminiscent of The Da Vinci Code.
