The Lincoln Myth de Steve Berry

The Lincoln Myth

Autor Steve Berry
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 noi 2014

Un secret transmis de la președinte la președinte ajunge în 1861 în mâinile lui Abraham Lincoln. O dilemă imposibilă: salvarea a mii de vieți sau integritatea unei națiuni tinere? În prezent, o descoperire arheologică în Utah și un agent dispărut în Danemarca declanșează un conflict constituțional mocnit de peste două secole. Recomandăm acest al nouălea volum al seriei Cotton Malone pentru modul în care comprimă timpul și spațiul. Trecem rapid de la străzile din Copenhaga la catacombele din Salzburg, într-un ritm dictat de gloanțe și trădări politice. Considerăm că forța acestui roman polițist rezidă în capacitatea de a transforma o hibă juridică într-o amenințare globală imediată. Pe același raft cu The Rose Conspiracy de Craig Parshall, cartea se distinge prin rigoarea cercetării istorice și miza personală a lui Malone, care își riscă libertatea și dragostea. Dacă în The Atlas Maneuver autorul explora comorile celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial, aici Steve Berry revine la obsesia sa pentru fundamentele democrației americane, o temă recurentă și în The Last Kingdom. Este o cursă febrilă în care istoria nu este doar fundal, ci o armă activă ce poate dărâma prezentul.

Descriere scurtă

"NEW YORK TIMES "BESTSELLER
Steve Berry returns with his latest thriller, a Cotton Malone adventure involving a flaw in the United States Constitution, a mystery about Abraham Lincoln, and a political issue that's as explosive as it is timely--not only in Malone's world, but in ours.
September 1861: "All is not as it seems. "With these cryptic words, a shocking secret passed down from president to president comes to rest in the hands of Abraham Lincoln. And as the first bloody clashes of the Civil War unfold, Lincoln alone must decide how best to use this volatile knowledge: save thousands of American lives, or keep the young nation from being torn apart forever?
The present: In Utah, the fabled remains of Mormon pioneers whose nineteenth-century expedition across the desert met with a murderous end have been uncovered. In Washington, D.C., the official investigation of an international entrepreneur, an elder in the Mormon church, has sparked a political battle between the White House and a powerful United States senator. In Denmark, a Justice Department agent, missing in action, has fallen into the hands of a dangerous zealot--a man driven by divine visions to make a prophet's words reality. And in a matter of a few short hours, Cotton Malone has gone from quietly selling books at his shop in Denmark to dodging bullets in a high-speed boat chase.
All it takes is a phone call from his former boss in Washington, and suddenly the ex-agent is racing to rescue an informant carrying critical intelligence. It's just the kind of perilous business that Malone has been trying to leave behind, ever since he retired from the Justice Department. But once he draws enemy blood, Malone is plunged into a deadly conflict--a constitutional war secretly set in motion more than two hundred years ago by America's Founding Fathers.
From the streets of Copenhagen to the catacombs of Salzburg to the rugged mountains of Utah, the grim specter of the Civil War looms as a dangerous conspiracy gathers power. Malone risks life, liberty, and his greatest love in a race for the truth about Abraham Lincoln--while the fate of the United States of America hangs in the balance.
