Description

The Lost Order continues renowned New York Times bestseller Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series with another riveting, history-based thriller.

The Knights of the Golden Circle was the largest and most dangerous clandestine organization in American history. It amassed billions in stolen gold and silver, all buried in hidden caches across the United States. Since 1865 treasure hunters have searched, but little of that immense wealth has ever been found.

Now, one hundred and sixty years later, two factions of what remains of the Knights of the Golden Circle want that lost treasure—one to spend it for their own ends, the other to preserve it.
Thrust into this battle is former Justice Department agent Cotton Malone, whose connection to the knights is far deeper than he ever imagined. At the center is the Smithsonian Institution—linked to the knights, its treasure, and Malone himself through an ancestor, a Confederate spy named Angus "Cotton" Adams, whose story holds the key to everything. Complicating matters are the political ambitions of a reckless Speaker of the House and the bitter widow of a United States Senator, who together are planning radical changes to the country. And while Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt face the past, ex-president Danny Daniels and Stephanie Nelle confront a new and unexpected challenge, a threat that may cost one of them their life.
From the backrooms of the Smithsonian to the deepest woods in rural Arkansas, and finally up into the rugged mountains of northern New Mexico, The Lost Order by Steve Berry is a perilous adventure into our country's dark past, and a potentially even darker future.

        In the 12th thriller featuring former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone (after 2016’s The 14th Colony), Berry delivers exactly what fans of this bestselling series have come to expect—an intricately plotted, action-paced story line that seamlessly blends history with provocative speculation. While on assignment for the Smithsonian in rural Arkansas, Malone becomes entangled with the “most powerful subversive organization in the history of the United States.” Founded in 1854, the Knights of the Golden Circle have allegedly been guarding billions in stolen gold and silver for more than a century. But the treasure can only be found by locating a series of invaluable artifacts that are encrypted with a seemingly unbreakable code. Malone’s quest becomes deadly when he discovers links to a conspiracy by the ambitious present-day speaker of the house, who wants to radically change the political power structure of the country. The fusion of contemporary and historical adventure makes this a page-turner of the highest order. Author tour. Agent: Simon Lipskar, Writers House.

        Once upon a time, the darkly secretive Knights of the Golden Circle buried scads of gold and silver across America, leading to a 160-year treasure hunt. Now, as two factions of the remaining knights struggle to recover the booty, series stalwart Cotton Malone realizes that he's connected to the mystery through an ancestor. With a one-day laydown on April 4.

        The prolific Berry has a knack for finding obscure yet fascinating historical details and fashioning them into fast-moving novels. This one revolves around a real-life secret society that most people have never heard of: the Knights of the Golden Circle, a nineteenth-century group that wanted to encircle Mexico and other Latin American countries and make them part of the U.S. as slave states. Though that didn't work out, the group buried great gobs of Confederate gold across the country. Both the Knights' endurance into modern times and the lure of the gold are the fictional plot points on which this thriller hinges, although there is also plenty about D.C. skulduggery, faithless wives, and feckless public servants. Fans of Berry's books will be happy to see his hero, Cotton Malone, making his twelfth appearance, this time with a Civil Warera ancestor connecting past parts of the story with the present. Berry provides interesting backdrops as his characters hopscotch around the country, and series fans will be excited to see that things are heating up between Malone and his rough-and-ready companion Cassiopeia Vitt. As always with Berry, the author's note, which separates facts from fiction, adds much to our appreciation of the tale. HIGH-DEMAND BACKSTORY: Prior to the publication of Berry's latest, 20 million copies of his books had been sold across 51 countries. The 400,000 first printing of this one will boost that total still higher.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)

        Once again, Berry (The Templar Legacy; The Amber Room) has delivered an excellent political thriller that weaves fact and fiction, history and the present. The Knights of the Golden Circle was one of the largest and most dangerous secret organizations in American history. Established in the 1850s, the group amassed a fortune in stolen treasure, some of it suspected Confederate gold, and buried it in secret caches across the United States. Now factions in the federal government, intent on implementing a plot to upset the balance of power, want to recover the prize. The Smithsonian Institution enlists Cotton Malone to help locate the missing gold. Seemingly unconnected events involving the death of a U.S. senator and murder at the Smithsonian soon links back to the Knights, who continue to guard their secrets. VERDICT Cotton Malone is an action hero like no other, and his many fans will eagerly await the latest entry in Berry's series. A page-turning read that is hard to put down.
