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York Times bestselling author, Steve Berry, comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which the discovery of a lost historical document challenges the global might of the United States.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

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry comes
the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which Cotton unravels a
mystery from World War II involving a legendary lost treasure,
Yamashita's Gold, worth billions. 1945. In the waning months of
World War II, Japan hid vast quantities of gold and other stolen
valuables in boobytrapped underground caches all across the
Philippines. By 1947 some of that loot was recovered, not by
treasure hunters, but by the United States government, which told
no one about the find. Instead, those assets were stamped
classified, shipped to Europe, and secretly assimilated into
something called the Black Eagle Trust. Present day. Retired
Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is in Switzerland
doing a favor for a friend. But what was supposed to be a simple
operation turns violent and Cotton is thrust into a war between the
world's oldest bank and the CIA, a battle that directly involves
the Black Eagle Trust. He quickly discovers that everything hinges
on a woman from his past, who suddenly reappears harboring a host
of explosive secrets centering around bitcoin. The cryptocurrency
is being quietly weaponized, readied for an assault on the world's
financial systems, a calculated move that will have devastating
consequences. Cotton has no choice. He has to act. But at what
cost? From the stolid banking halls of Luxembourg, to the secret
vaults of Switzerland, and finally up into the treacherous
mountains of southern Morocco, Cotton Malone is stymied at every
turn. Each move he makes seems wrong, and nothing works, until he
finally comes face-to-face with the Atlas Maneuver.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series comes a thrilling, action-packed historical adventure that sends Luke Daniels on an international manhunt for the truth about the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Luke Daniels is in London, between assignments with the Magellan Billet, when he receives a frantic call from an old friend. Jillian Stein is in trouble. She made a mistake and now her life may be in danger. She needs Luke’s help. Immediately. Racing to Belgium Luke quickly finds that she was right. A shadow team of highly-trained operatives are there on the hunt. Intervening, he finds himself embroiled in a war between two determined sides—one seeking the truth, the other trying to escape the past—a war that has already claimed one life and is about to claim more.
Thomas Rowland is a Washington insider, a kingmaker, problem-solver, but also a man with a past. For him everything turns with what happened on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas. What history has recorded is wrong. There is more to the story, much more, and Thomas Rowland is at the center of that terrible reality. But forces are working against him, and Rowland will do anything to keep the world from learning what actually happened on that fateful day, including killing Luke, Jillian and anyone else who might be a threat.
In a race from Belgium, to Luxembourg, to the bayous of Louisiana and the Wyoming wilderness, to a final confrontation in the Bahamas, Luke Daniels confronts a series of shocking truths which not only rewrite history but will forever change his own life—as he comes face to face with the ninth man.

In his signature style of grand storytelling, James Michener sweeps us back through time to the Holy Land, thousands of years ago. By exploring the lives and discoveries of modern archaeologists excavating the site of Tell Makor, Michener vividly re-creates life in and around an ancient city during critical periods of its existence, and traces the profound history of the Jews, including that of the early Hebrews and their persecution, the impact of Christianity on the Jewish world, the Crusades, and the Spanish Inquisition. Michener weaves his epic tale of love, strength, and faith until at last he arrives at the founding of Israel and the modern conflict in the Middle East. The Source is not only a compelling history of the Holy Land and its people but a richly written saga that encompasses the development of Western civilization and the great religious and cultural ideas that have shaped our world.

bestselling author The Vatican Never Forgets Nicholas Lee's job is
one-of-a-kind, as unique as his charges. He's UNESCO's one and only
field agent, their practical answer to the criminals seeking to
plunder the world's artifacts and cultural heritage. So Nick is
perfectly placed when, on a personal visit to a friend in Belgium,
the world-famous Ghent Altarpiece's twelfth panel is burnt to

interest more. Especially when the arsonists are seen to return to
a nunnery. Nick's holiday is over, but as his investigations begin
to unravel secrets that have held for two millennia he realises
this is no ordinary criminal enterprise. Dangerous players are
rearing their heads, from cardinals to archbishops to modern-day
Cathars, and Nick might just have made things a whole lot worse . .
. From the tranquil canals of Ghent, to the towering bastions of
Carcassonne, and finally into an ancient abbey high in the French
Pyrenees, Nick Lee must confront a modern-day religious crusade
intent on eliminating a shocking truth from humanity's past.

In bestselling author Steve Berry's stunning novel, former Justice
Department agent Cotton Malone encounters information from a secret
World War II dossier that, if proven true, would not only rewrite
history - it could change the political landscape of Europe
forever. Two candidates are vying to become Chancellor of Germany.
One is a patriot who has served for many years, the other a
usurper, stoking the flames of nationalistic hate. Both harbour
secrets, but only one knows the truth about the other. Everything
turns on the events of one fateful day - April 30, 1945 - and what
happened deep beneath Berlin in the Fuhrerbunker. Did Adolf Hitler
and Eva Braun die there? Did Martin Bormann, Hitler's close
confidant, manage to escape? And possibly even more important,
where did billions in Nazi wealth disappear to in the waning days
of the war? The answers to these questions will determine who
becomes the next Chancellor. Racing from Chile to South Africa, and
finally the secret vaults of Switzerland, former Justice Department
agent Cotton Malone must uncover the truth about the fates of
Hitler, Braun, and Bormann - revelations that could not only
transform Europe, but finally expose a mystery known as the
Kaiser's Web.
In the latest thrilling Cotton Malone adventure from international
bestseller Steve Berry, one by one the seven precious relics of the
Arma Christi, the weapons of Christ, are disappearing from
sanctuaries across the world. After former Justice Department agent
Cotton Malone witnesses the theft of one of them, he learns from
his old boss, Stephanie Nelle, that a private auction is about to
be held where incriminating information on the president of Poland
will be offered to the highest bidder - blackmail that both the
United States and Russia want, but for vastly different reasons.
The price of admission to that auction is one of the relics, so
Malone is first sent to a castle in Poland to steal the Holy Lance,
a thousand-year-old spear sacred not only to Christians but to the
Polish people, and then on to the auction itself. But nothing goes
as planned and Malone is thrust into a bloody battle between three
nations over information that, if exposed, could change the balance
of power in Europe. From the tranquil canals of Bruges, to the
elegant rooms of Wawel Castle, to deep beneath the earth in an
ancient Polish salt mine, Malone is caught in the middle of a
deadly war - the outcome of which turns on a secret known as the
Warsaw Protocol.
The ancient order of the Knights Templar possessed untold wealth and absolute power over kings and popes . . . until the Inquisition, when they were wiped from the face of the earth, their hidden riches lost. But now two forces vying for the treasure have learned that it is not at all what they thought it was – and its true nature could change the modern world.
Cotton Malone, one-time top operative for the U.S. Justice Department, is enjoying his quiet new life as an antiquarian book dealer in Copenhagen when an unexpected call to action reawakens his hair-trigger instincts – and plunges him back into the cloak-and-dagger world he thought he’d left behind.
It begins with a violent robbery attempt on Cotton’s former supervisor, Stephanie Nelle, who’s far from home on a mission that has nothing to do with national security. Armed with vital clues to a series of centuries-old puzzles scattered across Europe, she means to crack a mystery that has tantalized scholars and fortune-hunters through the ages by finding the legendary cache of wealth and forbidden knowledge thought to have been lost forever when the order of the Knights Templar was exterminated in the fourteenth century. But she’s not alone. Competing for the historic prize–and desperate for the crucial information Stephanie possesses – is Raymond de Roquefort, a shadowy zealot with an army of assassins at his command.
Welcome or not, Cotton seeks to even the odds in the perilous race. But the more he learns about the ancient conspiracy surrounding the Knights Templar, the more he realizes that even more than lives are at stake. At the end of a lethal game of conquest, rife with intrigue, treachery, and craven lust for power, lies a shattering discovery that could rock the civilized world – and, in the wrong hands, bring it to its knees.
