Cotton Malone had a case eighteen years ago that is coming back to haunt him and force him to make a history-changing decision. The history of Martin Luther King, Jr. and the FBI is well known. The FBI watched and tracked his every move. They even had people on the inside of his group who collected data to use against him.

Cotton is as always in the middle of trouble, getting shot at and having things blow up. THE BISHOP'S PAWN is an exciting story that leads to upper-level members of the government and high-ranking members of Martin Luther King's group. The ending is shocking and really makes you question history and wonder if it's possible that something like this, maybe without all the shooting and things blowing up, could have happened. To reveal more would be to give away the story, so I will not be doing it.
