Jami Borek is the author of Patriots & Poisons, Secrets Worth Killing For, and a book series for youth, The Colonial Girl Series.
Book synopsis: It’s March 1797, and Federalist John Adams has just taken the oath of office as President when a waiter’s poisoning at George Washington’s farewell dinner sets off a political crisis that could shatter both his presidency and the fragile United States.
Speculation runs rampant: Was the waiter the real target, or was Thomas Jefferson—Adams’s chief Republican rival—the intended victim? Could this be the work of a Federalist conspiracy aimed at eliminating their political enemies and holding onto power?
Desperate to uncover the truth, Adams enlists Jacob Martin, a moderate Senator from South Carolina, to lead the investigation. The stakes are monumental. With the nation on the verge of civil war, finding the killer is vital.
But who is responsible? A religious zealot convinced Jefferson is allied with the devil? A vengeful former Barbary pirate captive? A spurned lover or enraged spouse? Or is there truly a sinister Federalist plot at play? And does Adams really want the truth revealed?
As the mystery deepens, Jacob races against time to uncover the answers, protect the nation, secure his future, and save the woman he loves.
Patriots and Poisons immerses you in one of the most riveting periods of American history. This captivating murder mystery brings to life the politics, personalities, and culture of a young nation teetering on the brink, where every decision could determine its survival.
