For months he has sought the man who kidnapped and brainwashed his five-year-old son. But that man is a ghost - a highly protected CIA official with no name and no identity, and who may have links to Reilly's own father. Watched, manipulated, and framed for crimes he didn't commit, Reilly becomes a fugitive, making it next to impossible for him to uncover the truth about his past while protecting the family he loves. He's left with no choice but to risk everything to unearth secrets that would shake the country to its core - if he's ever allowed to get that far.
The explosive new Cotton Malone thriller by the international bestseller Steve Berry.
Le Double Eagle 1933 est une pièce d'or rarissime, inestimable. Mais en quoi peut-il bien intéresser le Ministère de la Justice Américain ? Engagé par ce dernier - et plus précisément la Division Magellan, sa branche secrète - à remonter ce trésor d'une épave cubaine, Cotton Malone ignore encore dans quel marécage il vient de plonger. Car ce qu'il remonte à la surface tire ses ramifications dans les plus sordides des coulisses du FBI. L'heure des règlements de comptes a sonné... De conspirations occultes en révélations explosives : Cotton Malone défie l'histoire officielle !
The 16th Amendment to the Constitution legalized federal income tax, but what if there were problems with the 1913 ratification of that amendment? Problems that call into question decades of tax collecting, and could even bring down the US economy. There is a surprising truth to this possibility - a truth wholly entertained by Steve Berry, a top-ten New York Times bestselling writer, in his new thriller, The Patriot Threat. His protagonist, Cotton Malone, once a member of an elite intelligence division within the Justice Department known as the Magellan Billet, is now retired. But when his former-boss, Stephanie Nelle, asks him to track a rogue North Korean who may have acquired some top secret Treasury Department files-the kind that could bring the United States to its knees-Malone is vaulted into a harrowing twenty-four-hour chase that begins on the water in Venice and ends in the remote highlands of Croatia. With appearances by Franklin Roosevelt, Andrew Mellon, and a curious painting that still hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Steve Berry's trademark mix of history and suspense is 90% fact and 10% exciting speculation.

Jsou okamžiky, kdy se musí člověk rozhodnout, na které straně stojí. Když se totiž nerozhodne včas, nebude pak patřit nikam. Áfija Sattárová je skromná, zbožná a nadaná dívka ze severního Pákistánu. Hýčká si svůj velký sen: chce vystudovat medicínu na americké univerzitě, pak se vrátit domů a stát se venkovskou lékařkou. Rodina Áfiju podporuje – jsou přece moderní lidé a nebudou jí bránit ve splnění snu jen proto, že je dívka! Vše se ale změní ve chvíli, kdy se na internetu objeví fotka Áfiji, jak se drží za ruku s americkým chlapcem, a po ní další, ještě povážlivější. V očích rodiny se dívka dopustila neodpustitelného prohřešku... Dramatický příběh sourozenců Sattárových popisuje nevyhnutelný střet dvou kultur, dvou naprosto rozdílných světů. Autorka důvěrně zná obě prostředí a v tomto pozoruhodném románu nabízí čtenáři nespočet podnětů k přemýšlení.
