Quand le vol 320 Francfort-New York explose en plein ciel, l'enquête s'oriente immédiatement vers la piste terroriste. Mais Jack Bernstein, grand maître d'échecs et PDG d'une société d'informatique, découvre une tout autre vérité. Les "terroristes" n'avaient qu'une cible : sa fille, Lara - et qu'un objectif : empêcher qu'elle ne parle d'une mystérieuse confrérie. Jack part alors sur les traces de cette société secrète, qui menace les fondements mêmes de l'Eglise. Avec les premiers indices, disséminés dans des oeuvres de Jean Cocteau et de Léonard de Vinci, il va entamer une périlleuse partie d'échecs historique et religieuse...

Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone wakes to find an intruder in his Copenhagen bookshop: an American Secret Service agent with assassins on his heels. Narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight, the two journey to the secluded estate of Malone’s friend Henrik Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the global economy. But Thorvaldsen also harbors a hidden agenda—a vendetta—that will force Malone to choose between friend and country, past and present. Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone is forced to match wits with a terrorist for hire and to plunge into a desperate hunt for Napoleon’s legendary treasure, lost for two hundred years. It’s a breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold value. But at what cost? From the Paperback edition.

In this gripping adventure, a flaw in the U.S. Constitution intertwines with a mystery surrounding Abraham Lincoln and a politically charged issue relevant to both Malone’s world and ours. In September 1861, a shocking secret, passed down through presidents, lands in Lincoln's hands as the Civil War ignites. Faced with the choice of saving lives or preserving the nation, Lincoln grapples with the weight of this volatile knowledge. In the present, the discovery of the remains of Mormon pioneers in Utah sparks a political clash between the White House and a powerful senator, while an investigation into an elder of the Mormon church unfolds. Meanwhile, a Justice Department agent has gone missing in Denmark, captured by a zealot driven to fulfill a prophet’s vision. Cotton Malone, now a bookseller in Denmark, is thrust back into danger when a call from his former boss sends him racing to rescue an informant with vital intelligence. As he navigates a high-speed boat chase, Malone finds himself embroiled in a conflict that traces back over two centuries to the Founding Fathers. From Copenhagen to Salzburg and the mountains of Utah, Malone confronts a conspiracy linked to the Civil War, risking everything to uncover the truth about Lincoln and the future of the United States.
