Description
Alexander Hamilton's death has sent shockwaves through New York, but for his widow Eliza, the real challenge lies ahead. As she searches for ways to clear her son's name after he is accused of murder, she uncovers a web of secrets and deceit that threaten to destroy their family. Eliza's quest for truth takes her from the city's gilded mansions to its meanest streets, where she must navigate a complex network of widow lacemakers who hold the key to unlocking the truth. With eight children to support and deepening debt, Eliza is forced to confront the dark underbelly of New York's high society. As one by one, witnesses to Alexander Hamilton's duel are killed, Eliza must act quickly to clear her husband's name and keep herself out of harm's way. Can she unravel the tangled threads of a vast murder plot before it's too late?
