A stolen flag, a secret society, and three complete strangers . . .

Anna, Jos?, and Henry have never met, but they have more in common than they realize.

Even stranger, news stations everywhere have just announced that the famous flag that inspired “The Star-Spangled Banner” has been stolen! Anna, certain that the culprits must be snowed in, too, recruits Henry and Jos? to help find the thieves and bring them to justice. But when accusations start flying, they soon realize there’s even more than a national treasure at stake.
