The Knights of the Golden Circle was the largest and most
dangerous clandestine organization in American history. It
amassed billions in stolen gold and silver, all buried in
hidden caches across the United States. Since 1865 treasure
hunters have searched, but little of that immense wealth has
ever been found.
Now, one hundred and sixty years later, two factions of what
remains of the Knights of the Golden Circle want that lost
treasure—one to spend it for their own ends, the other to
preserve it.
Thrust into this battle is former Justice Department agent
Cotton Malone, whose connection to the knights is far deeper
than he ever imagined. At the center is the Smithsonian
Institution—linked to the knights, its treasure, and Malone
himself through an ancestor, a Confederate spy named Angus
“Cotton” Adams, whose story holds the key to everything.
Complicating matters are the political ambitions of a
reckless Speaker of the House and the bitter widow of a
United States Senator, who together are planning radical
changes to the country. And while Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt
face the past, ex-president Danny Daniels and Stephanie
Nelle confront a new and unexpected challenge, a threat that
may cost one of them their life.
From the backrooms of the Smithsonian to the deepest woods
in rural Arkansas, and finally up into the rugged mountains
of northern New Mexico, The Lost Order by Steve Berry
is a perilous adventure into our country’s dark past, and a
potentially even darker future.
