A Cotton Malone adventure unfolds with a flaw in the U.S. Constitution, 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, reaches Lincoln as the Civil War's first clashes erupt. He faces a grave decision: use this volatile knowledge to save lives or risk tearing the nation apart. In the present, the remains of Mormon pioneers, victims of a deadly expedition, are uncovered in Utah. An investigation into a Mormon church elder sparks a political clash between the White House and a powerful senator. Meanwhile, a missing Justice Department agent in Denmark is captured by a zealot intent on fulfilling prophetic visions. 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 critical intelligence. Reluctantly drawn into peril, Malone finds himself in a deadly conflict—one rooted in a constitutional war initiated by America’s Founding Fathers over two centuries ago. From Copenhagen to Salzburg and the mountains of Utah, the shadow of the Civil War looms as a dangerous conspiracy gains momentum. Malone risks everything in a race for the truth about Lincoln, with the fate of the United States hanging in the balance.
