The Uncommon Thread
Keeping secrets can be dangerous. Telling them can be deadly.
​
Paddy Duncan thinks he’s part of a quiet family of tailors. But when his grandfather is kidnapped, Paddy desperately begins searching for clues only to find that his family has been guarding a secret. It’s a scientific mystery so amazing, it has been changing the course of history, through espionage, for over two hundred years.
Before all this, Paddy’s desire was to travel the world, not remain stuck in a tailor’s shop. Will he now decide to risk his life helping others in a dangerous world of espionage where he is a marked man? And all for the sake of the family legacy? It’s a chance to change the world forever.
