About the book
In New York Times bestseller Steve Berry’s next Cotton Malone adventure, one by one the seven precious relics of the Arma Christi, the weapons of Christ, are disappearing from sanctuaries across the world.
Former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone witnesses the theft of a relic and is informed by his former boss, Stephanie Nelle, that a private auction is being held where incriminating information on the president of Poland will be sold to the highest bidder. Both the United States and Russia have a stake in this blackmail, but for different reasons.
To gain entry to the auction, Malone must steal the Holy Lance from a castle in Poland, a sacred relic cherished by Christians and the Polish people. However, his mission takes an unexpected turn and Malone finds himself entangled in a violent struggle involving three nations vying for power in Europe.
From the picturesque canals of Bruges to the grand chambers of Wawel Castle and the depths of an ancient Polish salt mine, Malone becomes embroiled in a dangerous conflict revolving around a mysterious document known as the Warsaw Protocol.
