The Constitution Murders
All along the East Coast, someone has evaded sophisticated security systems to break into thirteen of America's most iconic historic sites. More puzzling, the intruders haven't stolen anything from the landmarks. Instead, they've left behind pieces of a dismembered woman. Hamilton Coles, a former CIA operative working in a special unit charged with protecting the nation's most important historic monuments, is assigned to the case. He quickly enlists the help of his former lover, Cary Mallory. She's a historian and antiques dealer who might be able to unravel the common denominator underlying the break-ins: they all have some relation to the US Constitution.

But is it worth putting their own lives in jeopardy to learn the truth?
