Eight years ago Cotton Malone was an agent for the Justice Department, handling the toughest and most sensitive international investigations. But sometimes things became intensely personal. In his latest eBook original short story, New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry lays out just such a tale—one with shocking historical implications.

Cotton Malone never cared for the shady dealings of his brother-in-law, Scott Brown. But when Scott dies while scuba diving, Cotton’s wife and her grieving sister demand more than just a secondhand police report. So Malone heads to Haiti. There, beneath crystal clear waters, he learns that Scott found the sunken wreckage of the Santa Maria, the fabled flagship of Christopher Columbus, and he paid for the discovery with his life. Setting out to piece together what happened, Malone quickly realizes that he’s not the only man there with questions. An Israeli intelligence agent is in top secret pursuit of what Scott died trying to protect. And a sinister Austrian with a hidden agenda has no qualms about killing for the mysterious prize. On the hunt for something that has been lost for 500 years, Malone is suddenly enmeshed in a deadly cat and mouse game being played across the north shore of Haiti and beneath the Caribbean Sea—and he’ll have to fight just to get out of there alive.

Куда исчезли несметные сокровища тамплиеров и в чем заключался секрет могущества этого древнейшего ордена, повелевавшего королями и папами и уничтоженного много веков назад? Уже давно человеческие умы занимают эти мировые загадки, и ключи к их раскрытию пытаются найти многие. Среди охотников за сокровищами есть не только ученые. Раймон де Рокфор, возглавляющий армию наемных убийц, тоже идет по следу, но движут его действиями вовсе не научные интересы. Ему хорошо известны и истинная сущность сокровищ, и то, что их обладатель способен повелевать миром…

Не доверяйте безоговорочно прописным истинам. Тому, например, что Александрийская библиотека, одно из семи чудес света и величайшее хранилище человеческой мудрости, погибла в огне пожара. На самом деле долгие века на земле существует тайный орден Хранителей - узкий круг посвященных, оберегающих тайно вывезенные копии древних манускриптов. А другая, не менее тайная, организация могущественных хозяев всемирного бизнеса готова пойти на все, чтобы выйти на след древней Библиотеки. Ведь знание - не просто сила, в умелых руках оно - ключ к богатству и безграничной власти.

Отставной разведчик, а ныне успешный книжный торговец Коттон Маллоун случайно приоткрывает завесу тайны местонахождения гробницы Александра Македонского. Ему и невдомек, что поиском этой реликвии занимаются секретные службы нескольких враждебных держав и ради достижения цели они пойдут на любые жертвы. Ведь скрытое в гробнице сокровище сулит нашедшему его власть над миром.

Еще будучи ребенком, Коттон Малоун слышал от матери, что его отец, моряк, погиб при крушении подлодки в Северной Атлантике. Теперь Коттон, бывший агент Департамента правосудия, хочет знать всю правду об этой трагедии. То, что он выяснил, повергает его в шок: оказывается, на самом деле атомная субмарина его отца исчезла без следа при выполнении сверхсекретной миссии где-то во льдах Антарктиды. Коттон пытается разузнать, что именно отец и его команда искали там. Расследование приводит его к зашифрованной информации, веками хранившейся в… гробнице императора Карла Великого. Эта тайна связана с Антарктидой и имеет решающее значение для судеб…

Закончив со службой в секретной группе «Магеллан», агент Коттон Малоун решил наконец завязать с жизнью, полной смертельно опасных приключений, и осел в тихой, спокойной Дании. Или, по крайней мере, так ему казалось вначале… Поскольку прежняя жизнь бесцеремонно вломилась к нему в дом в виде двух вооруженных людей, преследующих третьего. Коттон узнает, что его близкому другу нужна помощь. Тот горит желанием пролить кровь негодяя, виновного в гибели его сына. Малоун не одобряет вендетты, но отказывать друзьям не в его правилах. Погоня из Дании перемещается во Францию, в Париж. И тут Коттон выясняет, что, идя по следам злодея, он приближается……

В конце записи этот мужчина потребовал, чтобы Малоун передал некий артефакт, который Кассиопея оставила ему на сохранение.

“In Malone, [Steve] Berry has created a classic, complex hero.”—USA Today

In England to participate in the trial of suspected international terrorists, Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is mysteriously summoned to an audience with the Queen of England. A cryptic call has warned of looming danger to the ailing queen’s son and grandson—the next two heirs in line for the throne. And when the source of that ominous information, a notorious tabloid publisher, dies mysteriously, the royal family has reason to fear a genuine conspiracy. But they also suspect that the enemy lies within—and no one at Buckingham Palace, or even the nation’s own Secret Intelligence Service, can be trusted. Now it’s up to Malone to discover the truth. Matching wits with a power-mad politician and a vicious royal blue blood, he must race against time through the streets of London to the forbidden reaches of Iceland, all to stop a monstrous plot to seize the monarchy—one that stretches back to the time of Arthur.

A provocative thriller for fans of Dan Brown and David Baldacci, from the top-ten New York Times bestselling author.

The 16th Amendment to the Constitution legalized federal income tax, but what if there were problems with the 1913 ratification of that amendment? Problems that call into question decades of tax collecting, and could even bring down the US economy. There is a surprising truth to this possibility - a truth wholly entertained by Steve Berry in this fast-paced thriller.

His protagonist, Cotton Malone, once a member of an elite intelligence division within the Justice Department known as the Magellan Billet, is now retired. But when his former-boss, Stephanie Nelle, asks him to track a rogue North Korean who may have acquired some top secret Treasury Department files - the kind that could bring the United States to its knees. Malone is vaulted into a harrowing twenty-four-hour chase that begins on the water in Venice and ends in the remote highlands of Croatia.

With appearances by Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, and a curious painting that still hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Steve Berry's trademark mix of history and suspense is 90% fact and 10% exciting speculation.

What happens if both the president and vice-president-elect die before taking the oath of office? The answer is far from certain―in fact, what follows would be nothing short of total political chaos.

Shot down over Siberia, ex-Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is forced into a fight for survival against Aleksandr Zorin, a man whose loyalty to the former Soviet Union has festered for decades into an intense hatred of the United States.

Before escaping, Malone learns that Zorin and another ex-KGB officer, this one a sleeper still embedded in the West, are headed overseas to Washington D.C. Noon on January 20th―Inauguration Day―is only hours away. A flaw in the Constitution, and an even more flawed presidential succession act, have opened the door to disaster and Zorin intends to exploit both weaknesses to their fullest.

Armed with a weapon leftover from the Cold War, one long thought to be just a myth, Zorin plans to attack. He’s aided by a shocking secret hidden in the archives of America’s oldest fraternal organization―the Society of Cincinnati―a group that once lent out its military savvy to presidents, including helping to formulate three invasion plans of what was intended to be America’s 14th colony―Canada.

In a race against the clock that starts in the frozen extremes of Russia and ultimately ends at the White House itself, Malone must not only battle Zorin, he must also confront a crippling fear that he’s long denied, but which now jeopardizes everything. Steve Berry’s trademark mix of history and speculation is all here in this provocative new thriller.

The Lost Order continues renowned New York Times top 5 bestseller Steve Berry’s Cotton Malone series with another riveting, history-based thriller.
The Knights of the Golden Circle, founded on July 4, 1854, was the largest, most dangerous clandestine organization in American history. It formulated grand plans—to expand the United States, change the constitutional landscape, and forge a Southern empire, enslaving a ‘golden circle’ spanning two continents. To finance its goals, the Order amassed an amazing trove of stolen gold and silver, which they buried in hidden caches across the United States. Treasure hunters have searched for decades, but have never found any of the Order’s major hoards.
Now, 160 years later, the knights still exist. Two factions within the Order want the treasure—one to spend it, the other to preserve it. Thrust into that civil war is former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone.

Starting with a hunt for clues inside the Smithsonian Institution, Malone discovers that an ancestor within his own family may hold the key to everything: a Confederate spy named Owen “Cotton” Payne. Complicating matters further are the political ambitions of a ruthless Speaker of the House and the widow of a United States Senator, who have plans of their own—plans that conflict in every way with the Order.

From the quiet back rooms of the Smithsonian, to the dangers of rural Arkansas, and finally into the rugged mountains of northern New Mexico, The Lost Order is a perilous adventure into our country’s dark past, and a potentially darker future.

Experience a heart-pumping and thrilling tale of suspense! Originally published in THRILLER (2006),edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author James Patterson.

Malone is sent on a mission to a small, central Asian country run by an enigmatic dictator, Yossef Sharma, whose alliance with the United States must be kept under wraps. It’s not a mission Malone enjoys, since Sharma has a penchant for burning books. Things get even more interesting when Sharma connects Malone with the world’s most infamous criminal, a man who wants to surrender. Things are not always what they seem, and Malone will need Sharma’s help if he plans to set things right and give the devil his due.

The first case of New York Times bestseller Steve Berry’s iconic hero, Cotton Malone.

History notes that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr., marked by years of illegal surveillance and the accumulation of secret files, ended on April 4, 1968 when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray. But that may not have been the case.
Now, fifty years later, former Justice Department agent, Cotton Malone, must reckon with the truth of what really happened that fateful day in Memphis.

It all turns on an incident from eighteen years ago, when Malone, as a young Navy lawyer, is trying hard not to live up to his burgeoning reputation as a maverick. When Stephanie Nelle, a high-level Justice Department lawyer, enlists him to help with an investigation, he jumps at the opportunity. But he soon discovers that two opposing forces―the Justice Department and the FBI―are at war over a rare coin and a cadre of secret files containing explosive revelations about the King assassination, information that could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the civil rights movement’s greatest martyr.

Malone’s decision to see it through to the end ― from the raucous bars of Mexico, to the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas, and ultimately into the halls of power within Washington D.C. itself ― not only changes his own life, but the course of history.

Steve Berry always mines the lost riches of history — in The Bishop's Pawn he imagines a gripping, provocative thriller about an American icon.
