Par Steve Berry. 2024
From celebrated New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which Cotton unravels a mystery from…
World War II involving a legendary lost treasure, worth billions, known as Yamashita&’s Gold.1945. In the waning months of World War II, Japan hid vast quantities of gold and other stolen valuables in boobytrapped underground caches all across the Philippines. By 1947 some of that loot was recovered, not by treasure hunters, but by the United States government, which told no one about the find. Instead, those assets were stamped classified, shipped to Europe, and secretly assimilated into something called the Black Eagle Trust. Present day. Retired Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is in Switzerland doing a favor for a friend. But what was supposed to be a simple operation turns violent and Cotton is thrust into a war between the world&’s oldest bank and the CIA, a battle that directly involves the Black Eagle Trust. He quickly discovers that everything hinges on a woman from his past, who suddenly reappears harboring a host of explosive secrets centering around bitcoin. The cryptocurrency is being quietly weaponized, readied for an assault on the world&’s financial systems, a calculated move that will have devastating consequences. Cotton has no choice. He has to act. But at what cost? From the stolid banking halls of Luxembourg, to the secret vaults of Switzerland, and finally up into the treacherous mountains of southern Morocco, Cotton Malone is stymied at every turn. Each move he makes seems wrong, and nothing works, until he finally comes face-to-face with the Atlas Maneuver.Catfish Charlie

and gone fishin&’ gets back in the saddle to set things straight—with guns blazin&’ . . . As a former Texas Ranger, Charlie &“Catfish Charlie&” Tuttle spent the good part of his life catching outlaws. Happily retired in Wolfwater, Texas, he&’s content just catching fish—namely Bubba, the wily old catfish who lives in the pond near Charlie&’s shack and keeps slipping off Charlie&’s hook. He also likes hanging out with his trusty tomcat Hooligan Hank and tossing back bottles of mustang berry wine. Sure, his glory days are behind him. There&’s no reason for Charlie to even think about coming out of retirement . . . It starts with a jailbreak. Frank Thorson and his gang ride into Wolfwater to bust Frank&’s brother out of the slammer. First, they slaughter the deputy. Then, the town marshal. Finally, they run off with the marshal&’s daughter and no one&’s sure if she&’s dead or alive. The townsfolk are desperate enough to ask that drunken old coot Catfish Charlie to put down his fishing pole and wine bottles, pick up his Colt Army .44, and go after the bloodthirsty gang. Sure, Catfish Charlie may be a bit rusty after all these years. But when it comes to serving up justice, no one is quicker, faster—or deadlier . . . Once a lawman, always a lawman. Especially a lawman like Catfish Charlie Tuttle.Jodie et le Livre de la Rose

Dans ce monde virtuel, les expériences sont largement simulées, de la nourriture reconstituée au zoo qui ne montre que des films de toutes les espèces éteintes. Grâce à sa carte d'étudiant, qui lui permet de voyager dans le temps, Jodie découvre qu'elle et ses amis peuvent vivre des événements historiques et rencontrer des personnages légendaires. Elle peut également retrouver et ramener chez elle ses précieux livres afin de les protéger dans sa cachette secrète.Perdants Pleureuses: Perdants Pleureuses
