The Lincoln Myth

About the book

September 1861: Everything is not as it appears. With these mysterious words, a shocking secret that has been passed down from one president to another now rests in the hands of Abraham Lincoln. As the first violent clashes of the Civil War begin, Lincoln must make a decision on how to use this sensitive information: save thousands of American lives or prevent the nation from being destroyed forever?

In the present day, the remains of Mormon pioneers who met a tragic end during their expedition in the 19th century have been discovered in Utah. Meanwhile, in Washington, D.C., an official investigation into an international businessman who is also an elder in the Mormon church has led to a political showdown between the White House and a powerful U.S. senator. In Denmark, a missing Justice Department agent has fallen into the hands of a dangerous fanatic who is determined to make his divine visions a reality. And in a matter of hours, Cotton Malone goes from peacefully selling books in Copenhagen to evading bullets in a dangerous boat chase.

When his former boss in Washington calls him, Malone finds himself racing to save an informant with crucial information. It's the kind of dangerous situation that Malone has been trying to avoid since leaving the Justice Department. But once he becomes involved in a conflict that puts his life at risk, Malone realizes that he is part of a deadly conspiracy that was set in motion by America's Founding Fathers over two centuries ago.

From the streets of Copenhagen to the catacombs of Salzburg to the mountains of Utah, the shadow of the Civil War looms over a dangerous plot gaining strength. Malone risks everything - his life, freedom, and even his love - in a quest for the truth about Abraham Lincoln, as the destiny of the United States hangs in the balance.
