A thrilling financial intrigue of corruption and espionage, violence and suspense in the early decades of a country called the United States.

Liss received his BA degree from Syracuse University, an MA from Georgia State University and his M. Phil from Columbia University. He left his post-graduate studies of 18th Century British literature and unfinished dissertation to write full-time.
