Abstract: We study the series $ps{i}_s(z):=su{m}_{n=1}^{infty}sec(npiz)n^{-s}$, and prove that it converges under mild restrictions on $z$ and $s$. The function possesses a modular transformation property, which allows us to evaluate $ps{i}_s(z)$ explicitly at certain quadratic irrational values of $z$. This supports our conjecture that $p{i}^{-k}ps{i}_k(sqrtj)inmathbbQ$ whenever $k$ and $j$ are positive integers with $k$ even. We conclude with some speculations on Bernoulli numbers.
