Publisher's summary

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which Cotton unravels a mystery from World War II involving a legendary lost treasure, worth billions, known as Yamashita’s Gold.

1945. In the waning months of World War II, Japan hid vast quantities of gold and other stolen valuables in boobytrapped underground caches all across the Philippines. By 1947 some of that loot was recovered, not by treasure hunters, but by the United States government, which told no one about the find. Instead, those assets were stamped classified, shipped to Europe, and secretly assimilated into something called the Black Eagle Trust.

Present day. Retired Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is in Switzerland doing a favor for a friend. But what was supposed to be a simple operation turns violent and Cotton is thrust into a war between the world’s oldest bank and the CIA, a battle that directly involves the Black Eagle Trust. He quickly discovers that everything hinges on a woman from his past, who suddenly reappears harboring a host of explosive secrets centering around bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is being quietly weaponized, readied for an assault on the world’s financial systems, a calculated move that will have devastating consequences. Cotton has no choice. He has to act. But at what cost?

From the stolid banking halls of Luxembourg, to the secret vaults of Switzerland, and finally up into the treacherous mountains of southern Morocco, Cotton Malone is stymied at every turn. Each move he makes seems wrong, and nothing works, until he finally comes face-to-face with the Atlas Maneuver.

Bit by bit

Thxs SB it’s like learning the easy way and fun- keep writing more books please

Action packed with lots of information

I liked the historical content within the story. The author really did his research. The narrator was wonderful as well.

Old fan of Berry, back for Bitcoin, loved it!

I’d read his first four or five novels but I primarily read nonfiction. I’ve always thought Steve Berry was like a high brow, researched action movie, like if Jason Bourne or Tom Cruise or Jason Statham was a bookseller who remembered everything.

These books are FUN and if you’ve never got to experience the narrator Scott Brick, he is just excellent and makes every book that much better.

Loved it!

Loved another Cotton Malone story! It was well written and tied into details from past stories without the listener needing to have read them all. Can’t wait for another one.

Great Plot and Characters

Always enjoy Steve Berry’s imagination at work. His research provides authenticity and interest to complement the stories and the character’s backgrounds.

Greed knows no bounds.

❤️ Cassiopeia was part of the story. I wish she and Cotton and more interactions. Ending left a small cliff hanger.

Great book on a timely topic

The storyline was really good and, unlike some of his other works, had several unexpected surprises. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Cryptocurrency and cliffhanger.

Loved the cliffhanger. Also interested in this subject since I don’t know much about cryptocurrency
