A young Midshipman turned secret‑service operative, Bill Bolton finds himself tangled in a puzzling mystery when a curious Seminole chief, Osceola, discovers a strange silver coin on the Bolton driveway. The coin bears an odd winged design and the number thirteen, hinting at a lost aviator’s lucky charm and a story that stretches far beyond New Canaan’s quiet streets. As Bill and Osceola trade witty banter, they begin to wonder whether the token is a harmless trinket or the first clue to a hidden adventure.
The pair’s investigation quickly draws them into a world of covert assignments, daring stunts, and the lingering echoes of Bill’s naval past. With the President’s secret orders urging discretion, Bill must balance his new secret‑service duties against the tantalizing promise of a sky‑borne secret that could change everything. Listeners will be swept along with Bill’s quick humor and the promise of high‑flying intrigue, just as the mystery takes its first daring turn.
