The Paris Vendetta

A Novel

De: Steve Berry

Narrado por: Scott Brick

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “All the Steve Berry hallmarks are here: scale, scope, sweep, history—plus breathless second-by-second suspense. I love this guy.”—Lee Child

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 two hundred 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Steve Berry always finds intriguing ways to link the past to the present in his fast-paced thrillers. The Paris Vendetta is his best yet."—Harlan Coben

Always great entertainment

I always enjoy the plots (and fact/fiction summary at the end) the characters are fun even if the situations can be over the top, but then that's part of the charm. Nothing bad to say about anything Scott Brick reads.

The best yet of the series

This was an awesome read and story! I was constantly on edge with the suspense and the historical aspects had the perfect affect.

another great story

I love this book it's another great piece to the series of cotton Malone I will say it's a Tadd difficult to keep up with in some parts of the novel but if you listen to it again or read it again you get it.
Thank you Steve for making awesome history novels that contain Fact and fiction.

Confusing

I found the plot very confusing. Several characters weaving in and out. While it came together in the end. I was not spell bound at any point.

Excellent, start to finish, incl narration

I enjoyed this book and the entire Cotton Malone series. It helps to read the series in order. Scott Brick is a superb narrator.

another good Berry

If you like international thrillers based on historical mysteries then you'll like this book.

Grate for a long trip

I listen to the book during to long 10 hours flights. I really enjoyed it and I do not agree with other comments about the narrator

English is not my native language, and I found the descriptions from Paris very accurate.

Intriguing mix of fact and fiction

Excellent story line with very precise descriptions of places and historical events. It was interesting to note the fact and fiction mixed so well.

The narration was excellent as well.

This keeps you on the edge of your seat!

What made the experience of listening to The Paris Vendetta the most enjoyable?

The narrator makes it feel like you are there. The plot and story were good and not predictable at all. Well worth your credit!

Once again Scott Brick gives a great performance in the narration of the book. I appreciate the effort he gives in creating a voice for each character.
