As the United States was beginning George Washington surrounded himself with an early version of the Secret Service, called the Life Guard. Members of this unit as well as many others however were not completely loyal to General Washington and the cause of the United States. As long as the British would pay them and promise them land, they were willing to deliver General Washington into the hands of the loyalist. The plot was uncovered and those who were plotting where either killed or imprisoned. Meltzer and Mensch play this non fiction story like a finely tuned violin. It is a narrative non fiction that keeps the reader engaged.
