Failure at this level is not an option. But time is running out before a killer in the Palace will strike again . . .

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author, Steve Berry, comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which the discovery of a lost historical document challenges the global might of the United States.

King Ludwig II of Bavaria was an enigmatic figure who was deposed in 1886, mysteriously drowning three days later. Eccentric to the point of madness, history tells us that in the years before he died Ludwig engaged in a worldwide search for a new kingdom, one separate, apart, and in lieu of Bavaria. A place he could retreat into and rule as he wished. But a question remains: did he succeed?

Enter Cotton Malone. After many months, Malone’s protégé, Luke Daniels, has managed to infiltrate a renegade group intent on winning Bavarian independence from Germany. Daniels has also managed to gain the trust of the prince of Bavaria, a frustrated second son intent on eliminating his brother, the duke, and restoring the Wittelsbach monarchy, only now with him as king. Everything hinges on a 19th century deed which proves that Ludwig’s long-rumored search bore fruit--legal title to lands that Germany, China, and the United States all now want, only for vastly different reasons.

In a race across Bavaria for clues hidden in Ludwig’s three fairytale castles--Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrenchiemsee--Malone and Daniels battle an ever-growing list of deadly adversaries, all intent on finding the last kingdom.

Nicci de Wee is weer op die spoor van ’n nuwe booswig … en hierdie keer is dit persoonlik. Een van haar eie spanlede, Stella, word vermis. Het sy bloot op die ingewing van die oomblik weggegaan omdat sy ’n blaaskans van alles en almal nodig gehad het, of is sy ontvoer? Nicci kan nie die gevoel afskud dat Stella die nuutste slagoffer van die diaboliese krimineel is wat talentvolle jong vroue in openbare plekke teiken en hulle oënskynlik in die niet laat verdwyn nie.

Niemand weet wie hierdie ontvoerder is of wat hy aan die vermiste vroue doen nie. Hy is ’n spook, ’n onsigbare en ontasbare skim. En hulle kan nie uitpluis hoekom die klokke so onheilspellend lui, of wat die betekenis is van die klein silwer klokkies wat die skurk op die misdaadtonele los nie.

Te midde van die sirkelende ondersoek word Nicci ook oorrompel. Sy herwin haar bewussyn in ’n afgryslike nagmerrie van haar eie ... Vir Blackie en Henk word dit ’n verbete wedloop teen tyd. Hulle moet Nicci vind voor dit te laat is, ás dit nie alreeds is nie ... Is die duiwel wat hulle jag die een wat haar geneem het, of is daar iemand selfs meer sinister agter alles?

Iemand wat hulle dalk oorgeslaan het in hulle berekeninge?

Wyngaard het geen probleem daarmee om die karakters in haar boeke af te maai nie. Wat die bloedstollende vraag na vore bring ... Kan hierdie dalk Nicci de Wee se finale speursaak wees?

And then a wealthy Upper East Side woman pays her a visit. Amber Randall is concerned about her twin sixteen-year-olds, Lark and Fox, who have acted and looked very different since they returned from spending the summer with their British father in the UK. She tells Jessica that her children have unnaturally perfect skin for teenagers and have lost all the tics and habits that made them who they were. They are not Lark and Fox, she tells Jessica. Something has happened to them.

To find out more, Jessica travels to Essex to talk to their father and once there meets Belle who is living a curiously isolated existence in a run-down farmhouse with her guardian Debra. Jessica knows that Lark and Fox had spent the summer with Belle—but can this unworldly teenager really be responsible for Lark and Fox's new personas?

Jessica soon discovers that, behind Belle and Debra, evil geniuses are playing a dangerous game with technology in order to make the world a "better place", not caring who gets hurt, maimed or even killed in the process. Can Jessica stop them from wreaking destruction on a whole generation of young people?

It all began with letters. Every word he wrote etched itself into my mind, into my soul.
 
I had no choice but to fall for him. Was it really so bad that the letters were part of a penpal program … for prisoners? Or that they weren’t addressed to me?
 
It’s not as if we’d ever meet. It’s not as if I’d ever get to look into Beau’s eyes that yearn for the ranch he left behind. Or that I’d ever get to feel his work-roughened hands dominating my body just as he does my fevered dreams. What harm could there be?
 
Until one afternoon when I find myself standing in front of Beau—pretending to be someone I’m not. But the joke’s on me because for all my pretenses, his deception is much crueler … The hardened, dangerous, impossibly beautiful man is nothing like the man in the letters.
 
And it’s too late for me to run.
