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.
