Publisher's summary

From New York Times bestselling author of the Cotton Malone series comes a thrilling, action-packed historical adventure that sends Luke Daniels on an international manhunt for the truth about the assassination of President John Kennedy.

Luke Daniels is in London, between assignments with the Magellan Billet, when he receives a frantic call from an old friend. Jillian Stein is in trouble. She made a mistake and now her life may be in danger. She needs Luke’s help. Immediately. Racing to Belgium Luke quickly finds that she was right. A shadow team of highly-trained operatives are there on the hunt. Intervening, he finds himself embroiled in a war between two determined sides—one seeking the truth, the other trying to escape the past—a war that has already claimed one life and is about to claim more.

Thomas Rowland is a Washington insider, a kingmaker, problem-solver, but also a man with a past. For him everything turns with what happened on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas. What history has recorded is wrong. There is more to the story, much more, and Thomas Rowland is at the center of that terrible reality. But forces are working against him, and Rowland will do anything to keep the world from learning what actually happened on that fateful day, including killing Luke, Jillian and anyone else who might be a threat.

In a race from Belgium, to Luxembourg, to the bayous of Louisiana and the Wyoming wilderness, to a final confrontation in the Bahamas, Luke Daniels confronts a series of shocking truths which not only rewrite history but will forever change his own life—as he comes face to face with the ninth man.

Another exciting Steve Berry work

A new spin on a potential Kennedy theory plus the added excitement of an up and coming Steve Berry character makes for a solid read.

Awesome action

The story flowed together very well. The action was well placed & kept the story entertaining. I really liked it. Ready for the 2nd Luke Daniel’s book!!!!!

Another Great Book

Always loved the Luke Daniels character and this book did him proud. Loved the storyline and subject matter. Scott Brick is always awesome as the narrator. Highly recommend this book as well as all Steve Berry’s books!

The 9th Man

Another thrilling book by Steve Berry. I’ve enjoyed every book by S. Berry, they always keep me wanting more. I’m looking forward to more Luke Daniels books. The narrative is excellent!

Luke Daniels gets his first solo novel

Luke Daniels gets an emergency call from an old flame who tells him that someone is coming to kill her and her grandfather. Luke jumps into action and promptly realizes that he has stepped into something very dangerous and with ties to a world changing death decades earlier. From Europe to the Louisiana bayou to the northern Rockies to the Bahamas. Danger dogs him as he unravels one of the most famous deaths in modern history. Cotton Malone is strongly felt, but remains offstage while Luke threads the dangerous path in his own personal way.

If you like the Cotton Malone books, you will like this. While not absolutely required reading, knowledge of the Malone books will only add to the experience. I gave the book 4 stars for story. That is simply due to the fact that this is the first collaboration between Steve Barry and Grant Blackwood. Both do a great job together but I think that to they will do even better with a slightly less famous historical event. I still highly recommend this book.

Fascinating!

What if? As if? If only…..this makes sense. I loved this book. New authors for me, going to check out their other books.

Steve Berry and Grant Blackwood spin great story
