Beskrivelse af The Bishop's Pawn
The first case of New York Times bestseller Steve BerryΓÇÖs iconic hero, Cotton Malone.
History notes that the ugly feud between J. Edgar Hoover and Martin Luther King, Jr., marked by years of illegal surveillance and the accumulation of secret files, ended on April 4, 1968 when King was assassinated by James Earl Ray. But that may not have been the case.
Now, fifty years later, former Justice Department agent, Cotton Malone, must reckon with the truth of what really happened that fateful day in Memphis.
It all turns on an incident from eighteen years ago, when Malone, as a young Navy lawyer, is trying hard not to live up to his burgeoning reputation as a maverick. When Stephanie Nelle, a high-level Justice Department lawyer, enlists him to help with an investigation, he jumps at the opportunity. But he soon discovers that two opposing forcesΓÇöthe Justice Department and the FBIΓÇöare at war over a rare coin and a cadre of secret files containing explosive revelations about the King assassination, information that could ruin innocent lives and threaten the legacy of the civil rights movementΓÇÖs greatest martyr.
MaloneΓÇÖs decision to see it through to the end ΓÇöΓÇö from the raucous bars of Mexico, to the clear waters of the Dry Tortugas, and ultimately into the halls of power within Washington D.C. itself ΓÇöΓÇö not only changes his own life, but the course of history.
Steve Berry always mines the lost riches of history ΓÇöΓÇö in The Bishop''s Pawn he imagines a gripping, provocative thriller about an American icon.
