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.

This could be described as an airport thriller - financial conspiracies, a slightly jaded agent, Napoleon's missing treasures. Outside my usual reading fare but I thoroughly enjoyed this well researched and tautly written book. ( )

Cuando Napoleón Bonaparte murió en el exilio en 1821, se llevó a la tumba un impactante secreto. Como general y emperador, había saqueado incalculables riquezas de palacios y tesoros nacionales, de los Caballeros de Malta y el Vaticano. En sus últimos días, sus captores británicos esperaban averiguar dónde se ocultaba el botín. Pero él no les desveló nada, y en su testamento no mencionaba el tesoro. ¿O tal vez sí? El ex agente del Departamento de Justicia Cotton Malone está a punto de averiguarlo cuando los problemas llaman a la puerta de su librería en Copenhague, o más bien irrumpen en ella, personificados en un agente del servicio secreto estadounidense al que persiguen dos asesinos. Malone alberga sus dudas sobre el ansioso joven, pero tras sobrevivir a un feroz tiroteo, accede a seguir a su nuevo e inesperado aliado. Su primera parada es la aislada finca de Henrik Thorvaldsen, un buen amigo de Malone. El astuto magnate danés ha descubierto los insidiosos planes del Club de París, un grupo de conspiradores multimillonarios decididos a manipular la economía global. Sólo igualando el ingenio de un terrorista a sueldo, frustrando un atentado catastrófico y emprendiendo una desesperada búsqueda del legendario tesoro perdido de Napoleón podrá Malone evitar la anarquía económica internacional. Desde Dinamarca, pasando por Inglaterra y terminando en las históricas calles y catedrales de París, Malone participa en un intenso juego de duplicidad y muerte, todo para conseguir un tesoro de valor incalculable. Pero, ¿a qué precio?

Cotton Malone is compelled to help Stephanie Nelle capture a terrorist and in doing so protect a U.S. government informant whom his good friend Henrik Thorvenson seeks to kill to avenge the killing of his son. Decent action, but the Napoleonic treasure story line seemed contrived and unnecessary. ( )

Very much like his other books, but still interesting and easy to read out of order. ( )
