Steve Berry offers his twistiest thriller yet, in a new adventure starring Cotton Malone and a secret conspiracy dating back to Napoleon.
12.40 a.m. Copenhagen. Cotton Malone wakes up to find a stranger in his house, bearing bad news: Malone’s closest and most dangerous friend, Henrik Thorvaldsen, is in serious trouble – and the men who want to kill him are on Malone’s doorstep.
Thorvaldsen has been tracking a shadowy group called the Paris Club. Not only does he believe that they are about to trigger a global financial meltdown, but also that one of the club’s members murdered his son, Cai, two years ago. Thorvaldsen won’t rest until he has avenged his boy’s death.
Dragged into his friend’s schemes and secretly under pressure from the US government to stop both Thorvaldsen and the Paris Club, Malone soon discovers that the key to defeating the conspiracy and saving his friend’s life – and his own – lies in the past, and an astounding treasure that Napoleon took to his grave.

You don't just read a Steve Berry novel. You live it.
A top-notch, gripping, intelligent thriller in the very finest traditions of the genre
Steve Berry always finds intriguing ways to link the past to the present in his fast-paced thrillers. The Paris Vendetta is his best yet.
All the Berry hallmarks are here: scale, scope, sweep, history - plus breathless second-by-second suspense. I love this guy.
Sexy, illuminating...my kind of thriller
In Malone, Berry has created a classic, complex hero
'Pure intrigue. Pure fun.'
Action-packed, fast paced and engaging
'Complex and fast-moving thriller writing, delivered with a great deal of dash, and shades of The Da Vinci Code'
International intrigue, swashbuckling action, indestructible hero from the American South...Not to be missed.
