The research for this book has spanned most of Cox’s life with numerous discoveries in the last few years.  “New evidence changes what we knew about the British Post,” said Mr. Cox.

“The book has years of research, translation, and physical labor in it,” said Rachael Conrad Cox, General Manager of Old Kitchen Books.  “This book makes history because it gives you information no one knew before now.”

His first historical thriller Incognito, was released in 2021. It is set in 1776 Philadelphia, and revolves around a plot to assassinate key leaders of the Continental Congress. It received book awards from the Florida Authors and Publishers Association in three categories: Bronze in Historical Fiction; Gold in General Fiction and Gold in Mystery /Suspense. His most recent legal thriller, Fast Break, was just released in May of this year. In Fast Break, Kate Marston has landed a high-profile case that could make her career -- or break it. Her client is a controversial judge charged with murder.
