Paperback: There is a secret from our history - 500 years old - startling in its revelations - it started with a Queen's lie - and devastating in its political impact.
A secret that has, thankfully, stayed hidden.
Until now.
Former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone travels to England and finds himself caught up in a dark conspiracy born long ago, in the time of the Tudors.
The CIA and MI6 seem to be competing to uncover the mystery, but when his son disappears, Malone is forced into a race against time as he battles to decipher the puzzle.
With assassins, traitors, spies and dangerous disciples of a secret society closing in, Malone discovers that the solution to the mystery will not only draw him into a lethal trap but force him closer to his own troubling past.
The King's Deception (2013) is the eighth book in the Cotton Malone series.
The Patriot Threat, the next and tenth book in the Cotton Malone series, will be out on 9 April 2015!
