NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - "All the Steve Berry hallmarks are here:
scale, scope, sweep, history--plus breathless second-by-second suspense.
I love this guy."--Lee Child
Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone wakes to find an
intruder in his Copenhagen bookshop: an American Secret Service agent
with assassins on his heels. Narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight,
the two journey to the secluded estate of Malone's friend Henrik
Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of
the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the
global economy. But Thorvaldsen also harbors a hidden agenda--a
vendetta--that will force Malone to choose between friend and country,
past and present. Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up
in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone is forced to
match wits with a terrorist for hire and to plunge into a desperate hunt
for Napoleon's legendary treasure, lost for two hundred years. It's a
breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold
value. But at what cost?
BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Steve Berry's The Columbus
Affair and a Cotton Malone dossier.
