“Berry’s at the height of his storytelling prowess in this elegant mix of historical speculation and non-stop thrills that takes Cotton Malone back to the English Tudors in order to solve the riddle of a modern day conspiracy. Add to that a father-son theme and you have the recipe for a tale as smart as it is chilling and as bold as it is brash. If you want to know everything a thriller is supposed to be, read Steve Berry.”
