Mystery
Cotton Malone, retired U.S. operative, becomes forcibly involved in
another intrigue after his son is kidnapped and his rare book store in
Copenhagen is burned. The Order of the Golden Fleece, a network of
politically powerful European business men and women, seeks the lost
library of Alexandria. They want to destabilize the Middle East and
create more economic power for the Order. Cotton helped to protect and hide a man who was one of the few men on earth with the knowledge of the lost library's whereabouts. The Guardians of the library invite only the elite intelligentsia to come and visit.
Cotton must now help the 'bad guys' find the Library. However, the Israelis and the Saudis do not want the information the library contains to be made public knowledge so they send agents after Cotton and Pam,Cotton's ex.
This book again contains a number of Biblical hypotheses, which are interesting to read about. I wanted to throttle Pam. Here is a lawyer that is so dumb.... Suffice it to say she is the main reason Cotton got into some of the worse of the situations. I loved the intrigue, the back-stabbing and the concept of the Library of Alexandria still existing.
First Line: "George Haddad's patience ended as he glared at the man bound to the chair."
