This book is literally an education in itself and is the first Cotton Malone thriller to be set on American soil. I more than highly recommend it!
Hardback blurb: Four United States Presidents have been assassinated - in 1865, 1881, 1901 and 1963 - each murder seemingly unrelated.
But what if those presidents were all killed for the same reason: a clause in the United States Constitution - a clause that would shock the world?
In his most perilous exploit yet, former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone must combat the Commonwealth, a treacherous, piratical society first assembled during the American Revolution.
Along the way, he must break a secret cipher originally possessed by President Thomas Jefferson and unearth a centuries-old document, forged by the Founding Fathers themselves, powerful enough to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.
Cotton has been called on before to defend his country's safety in various exotic locations around the world. But never before has the danger been quite so close to home . . .
