�In Malone, [Steve] Berry has created a classic, complex hero.��*USA Today� *In England to participate in the trial of suspected international terrorists, Justice Department agent Cotton Malone is mysteriously summoned to an audience with the Queen of England. A cryptic call has warned of looming danger to the ailing queen�s son and grandson�the next two heirs in line for the throne. And when the source of that ominous information, a notorious tabloid publisher, dies mysteriously, the royal family has reason to fear a genuine conspiracy. But they also suspect that the enemy lies within�and no one at Buckingham Palace, or even the nation�s own Secret Intelligence Service, can be trusted. Now it�s up to Malone to discover the truth. Matching wits with a power-mad politician and a vicious royal blue blood, he must race against time through the streets of London to the forbidden reaches of Iceland, all to stop a monstrous plot to seize the monarchy�one that stretches back to the time of Arthur.
