About this audiobook
A dead admiral. A stolen chart. A nation at risk.
Washington, D.C., 1885. When journalist Meade Meadows is summoned to the office of a high-ranking naval officer, he finds Admiral Ezra Radford slumped over his desk—dead. The Navy says suicide. Meade knows better.
With the help of his brilliant and resourceful sister Lucinda, Meade dives into a dangerous investigation involving classified maps, Spanish spies, and a secret organization tied to the remnants of the Confederacy. As the threat of war over Cuba looms, the siblings uncover a conspiracy that could change the future of American intelligence—and cost them their lives.
The Death of the Admiral is a fast-paced historical espionage thriller filled with shadowy agents, political intrigue, and the moral ambiguity of the spy world. Perfect for fans of Ken Follett, Alan Furst, and historical mysteries with real-world tension.
