Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

Four presidents of the United States have been assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each murder seemingly unrelated. But what if those presidents were all killed for the shocking same reason: a clause contained in the United States Constitution? This is the question faced by former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone. When President Danny Daniels is nearly killed in the heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his life to foil the murder—only to find himself at odds with the Commonwealth, a secret society of pirates first assembled during the American Revolution. Racing across the nation and taking to the high seas, Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt must break a secret cipher originally possessed by Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and unearth a document forged by the Founding Fathers themselves—one powerful enough to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.

Don’t miss Steve Berry’s short story “The Devil’s Gold” and an excerpt from The King's Deception in the back of the book.

    With a name like “Danny Daniels,” I don’t expect an inspired story from this.
  • Great story

    I loved the way this story balances an actual assassination attempt of President Jackson, pairs it with the existence of pirates, their secret sea rights, and cryptic cyphers.....then parallel it to a modern day political thriller that involves the President today!! Absolutely fantastic! Ive never read a Cotton Malone novel before but I loved it!

    I love the historical fiction aspect of this book. However, it is very difficult to follow. I wish there was a key to the characters to refer back to. It seems that character just appear without much introduction. Would like to see a little more character development.
  • Berry doesn't disappoint

    Cotton Malone has become one of my favorite characters in the literary world. And anytime Berry teams him up with Cassiopeia Vitt it's a sure winner. Throw in pirates, Danny Daniels, and Stephanie Nelle and it's sure to be spectacular!
