The Paris Vendetta

A Novel

De: Steve Berry

Narrado por: Scott Brick

New York Times best seller.

Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone wakes to find an intruder in his Copenhagen bookshop: An American Secret Service agent with assassins on his heels. Narrowly surviving a ferocious firefight, the two journey to the secluded estate of Malone’s friend Henrik Thorvaldsen. The wily Danish tycoon has uncovered the insidious plans of the Paris Club, a cabal of multimillionaires bent on manipulating the global economy. But Thorvaldsen also harbors a hidden agenda - a vendetta - that will force Malone to choose between friend and country, past and present.

Starting in Denmark, moving to England, and ending up in the storied streets and cathedrals of Paris, Malone is forced to match wits with a terrorist for hire and to plunge into a desperate hunt for Napoleon’s legendary treasure, lost for 200 years. It’s a breathless game of duplicity and death, all to claim a prize of untold value. But at what cost?

Bonus: This edition contains an excerpt from Steve Berry’s The Columbus Affair and a Cotton Malone dossier.

I love this series

It’s always fun to explore Paris as part of a plot! Well done. I like the author notes at the end & I miss them here.

Good Addition to the Cotton Malone Series

A well-told story that is a suspenseful page turner with great narration by Scott Brick.

Choose the Unabridged.

I always enjoy a mystery based on historical facts but I do find this one hard to follow at times. I believe this is due to the abridging. Next time I would choose the unabridged version.
