Agent 355 by Marie Benedict
A fictional portrayal of a real-life Revolutionary spy and her daring deeds, from the New York Times-bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room.Agent 355 is a result of author Marie Benedict's quest to bring history's most fascinating and courageous women to life for contemporary readers. Known to history only by her alias, this mysterious female spy, able to move freely and unobtrusively in Loyalist circles, became a member of George Washington's New York-based Culper Ring. This thrilling novella depicts who Marie Benedict thinks Agent 355 could have been, though her true identity remains unknown.
During the sweltering summer of 1779, eighteen-year-old Elizabeth Morris attends the social events of the British-occupied city, but the forced merriment holds no charm for her. She finds herself in the company of enemy soldiers, who think nothing of discussing matters of government and war in front of mere women. This invisibility becomes Elizabeth's greatest asset as she offers her services to Robert Townsend, a Continental sympathizer. Her bravery will bring down one of the most notorious traitors in American history and ultimately seal her fate as a woman willing to sacrifice everything for love and country.
Marie Benedict, a former New York City lawyer, had long fantasized about a fantasy work as an archaeologist or historian, unraveling the larger secrets of the past -- before she tried her hand at writing. She realized she could explore the probable realities buried in history through fiction while writing her first novel, THE OTHER EINSTEIN, the story of Mileva Maric, Albert Einstein's first wife and a physicist herself, and has done so in THE OTHER EINSTEIN. Marie also wrote The Chrysalis, The Map Thief, and Brigid of Kildare under the pen name Heather Terrell. She is a Boston College and Boston University School of Law graduate who currently resides in Pittsburgh with her family.
