I really like Berry, he is a great alternative if you run out of Dan Brown’s books.
In this one, Cotton Malone is investigating the circumstances surrounding his father death onboard a submarine, lost while executing a classified mission. Malone’s investigation sparks the involvement of twin sisters, Christl and Dorothea, their father also died in the submarine. The sisters are on a competition to find out what happened to him, the one that does will inherit their father’s fortune, as promised by their mother..
All of them are at risk because someone in the government doesn’t want them to find out what happened to the submarine nor the nature of their mission.
This novel is fast paced, thrilling and very interesting. The mystery surrounding Charlemagne and the ancient civilization was fascinating to me. The setting and the atmosphere was well crafted, and the characters well fleshed out.
Christy killed Dorothea’s husband, Dorothea killed Christy and then killed herself.
Ramsey, the general behind the conspiracy was murdered by his contract killer. McCoy was working undercover for the president. Davis killed Charlie, the killer.
The USA will now use the translator to study the stones and books from the ancient civilization.
I was entertained, it was a fast, interesting read. I recommend it.
