Secret Service

Behind Confederate lines works Lewis DuMont of the United States Secret
Service, AKA Captain Thorne. Highly placed, deeply covered, and warmly
embraced by the family that gives him shelter, Thorne works against time to
turn the tide of the decisive Battle of Richmond . . . but the confederacy
knows his name. When he is exposed to his comrades in arms, and to the
woman whose arms have embraced him, it is not only his plan but the lives
of those dearest to him that come into the sights. In this fast-paced,
romantic drama, no one is quite what he, or she, seems, and this ripping
yarn presents ambiguous and complex characters. A wolf of a drama in a
melodrama’s clothing, Secret Service is rightfully placed as one of the classics of the American Stage.
