Cotton Malone is back in Steve Berry's The Last Kingdom (#1,134). This time the action takes place in Austria, home to the fairy tale castles of Ludwig II. Did Ludwig, or did he not sign a secret contract with the then king of Hawaii? Both the document and his body seem to missing...
The search is on, and all kinds of nefarious players are involved. Cotton is dragged into the action by Luke Daniels, an up-and-coming Magellen Billet agent, and nephew of ex-president Daniels. Cotton is glad to lend a hand, but honestly, isn't he getting a little old for all the physical stuff, even if it is exhilarating?
This book definitely makes me want to put Neuschwanstein, Linderhof and Herrencheimsee on my list of places to visit! The premise of the book is an interesting one, as well. If true, what a difference it would make for all of us Americans! With Cotton on the job, I don't think we have to worry,
