Four United States presidents have already been assassinated-in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963-each murder seemingly unrelated and separated by period.

But what if those presidents had been all killed for the same cause: a clause in america Constitution-contained within Content 1, Section 8-that would shock Americans?

This question is exactly what faces former Justice Department operative Natural cotton Malone in his latest adventure. Whenever a strong assassination attempt is made against Chief executive Danny Daniels in the heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his lifestyle to foil the killing-only to discover himself at dangerous odds with the Commonwealth, a secret society of pirates initial assembled through the American Trend. In their many perilous exploit yet, Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt competition across the nation and take to the high seas. Along the way they break a key cipher originally possessed by Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and unearth a centuries-old document forged with the Founding Fathers themselves, one powerful enough-thanks compared to that clause in the Constitution-to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.
