Welcome to Litsy!

One hundred and fifteen colonists disappeared from Roanoke Island in 1587. No bodies. No graves. No trail led to their whereabouts. Until now. On September 3, 2012 British Museum experts announced the discovery a previously unknown fort. Using laser technology to raise a patch on an original Lost Colony map, they pinpointed its location in modern day Bertie County, North Carolina. Only fifty miles inland from where the colonists were last seen, this clue offers the first conclusive proof of survivors. Experts are now asking why this map - an Elizabethan treasure according to the writings of roy-alty and investors alike - turned up patched like a second-rate document. By whom? And what were they so desperate to hide? The truth? Buried beneath layers of intrigue for centuries, a chilling conspiracy has surfaced - one involv-ing murder, blood money, and a betrayal of the fledging English colony so terrifying it can only be revealed in Breaking Ties.
