The first case of New York Times bestseller Steve
Berry’s iconic hero, Cotton Malone.
History notes that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and
Martin Luther King, Jr., marked by years of illegal
surveillance and the accumulation of secret files, ended on
April 4, 1968 when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray.
But that may not have been the case.
Now, fifty years later, former Justice Department agent,
Cotton Malone, must reckon with the truth of what really
happened that fateful day in Memphis.
It all turns on an incident from eighteen years ago, when
Malone, as a young Navy lawyer, is trying hard not to live
up to his burgeoning reputation as a maverick. When
Stephanie Nelle, a high-level Justice Department lawyer,
enlists him to help with an investigation, he jumps at the
opportunity. But he soon discovers that two opposing
forces—the Justice Department and the FBI—are at war over a
rare coin and a cadre of secret files containing explosive
revelations about the King assassination, information that
could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the
civil rights movement’s greatest martyr.
Malone’s decision to see it through to the end —— from the
raucous bars of Mexico, to the clear waters of the Dry
Tortugas, and ultimately into the halls of power within
Washington D.C. itself —— not only changes his own life, but
the course of history.
