The Paris Vendetta

About the book

The vintage editions Cotton Malone sells in his Copenhagen bookshop are rare, but even rarer is the time he gets to spend there. Retirement has been anything but relaxing for the former U.S. government operative. He has been embroiled in one dangerous adventure after another, traversing the globe from the Sinai Desert to Antarctica in a race to uncover historical secrets.

Back in Denmark, Malone barely has time to rest after his last mission when trouble arrives in the form of an American Secret Service agent pursued by assassins. Despite his doubts about the young man, Malone decides to follow him into more danger, leading to a close encounter with peril once again.

Their first destination is the country estate of Malone's friend Henrik Thorvaldsen, who has uncovered the plans of the Paris Club, a group of millionaires aiming to control the global economy. Malone must outsmart a terrorist, prevent an attack, and search for the lost treasure of Napoleon Bonaparte to prevent financial chaos. Meanwhile, Thorvaldsen seeks revenge for his son's murder by a member of the conspiracy, setting off a deadly game in the streets of Paris with unimaginable consequences.
