The Lincoln Myth

More about the book

In September 1861, a shocking secret entrusted to Abraham Lincoln becomes pivotal as the Civil War begins. Faced with the choice to save thousands of lives or preserve national unity, Lincoln grapples with the weight of this volatile knowledge. In the present day, the remains of Mormon pioneers, victims of a tragic expedition, are discovered in Utah, igniting a political clash in Washington, D.C., involving a powerful senator and a Mormon elder under investigation. Meanwhile, a Justice Department agent in Denmark has gone missing, captured by a zealot intent on fulfilling prophetic visions. Cotton Malone, a former agent now running a bookstore, finds himself thrust into chaos after a call from his old boss. He must rescue an informant with crucial intelligence, a task he hoped to avoid after leaving the Justice Department. As he navigates a high-stakes chase, Malone enters a deadly conflict rooted in a conspiracy initiated by America's Founding Fathers over two centuries ago. From Copenhagen to Salzburg and the mountains of Utah, the shadow of the Civil War looms large as Malone races against time to uncover the truth about Lincoln, with the future of the nation hanging in the balance.
