A lost diary. A buried secret. A race against time.
Bartimaeus Arnold's life as a historian is in shambles. His career ruined and his bank account drained, he has spent years chasing shadows of the past. But when he stumbles upon a long-forgotten diary-one belonging to the infamous Benedict Arnold-he finds himself thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse.
Hidden within the pages is a cryptic message, a map leading to a secret buried for centuries. A truth that could rewrite history. But Bartimaeus isn't the only one searching for answers. Powerful forces, shrouded in mystery, will stop at nothing to ensure that what was hidden remains buried.
From the auction houses of Boston to the desolate ruins of Fort Crown Point, Bartimaeus must unravel the puzzle left behind by his ancestor. As he digs deeper, the stakes rise-because some truths were never meant to be uncovered.
History is watching. And it does not forgive.
A gripping historical thriller filled with intrigue, danger, and a secret that could change everything-The Forth Crown is a must-read for fans of The Da Vinci Code, National Treasure, and Indiana Jones.
