The Jefferson Key
The seventh explosive Cotton Malone adventure – the first to be set in America.
Cotton Malone has been called on to defend his country’s safety in many exotic locations around the world, often using his knowledge of history to get to the heart of mysteries and conspiracies stretching back for centuries. But never has the danger been quite so close to home.
A stunning opening sets the tone of explosive action and mind-bending intrigue as Cotton battles an extraordinary group of families whose unseen influence dates back to the pages of the U.S. Constitution – and whose thirst for power is about to be satisfied by the cracking of a code devised by Thomas Jefferson himself.

Reviews
THE JEFFERSON KEY starts with a bang and holds the reader in its grip until the last page. Fascinating American history, up-to-the-minute politics, pulse-pounding action.
Sexy, illuminating...my kind of thriller
For several years, Steve Berry has been an ace practitioner among those writers who would pleasurably rob us of sleep . . . Berry has proved himself an adroit practitioner of the Dan Brown-style adventure novel, full of colour and energy.
'[a] page turner'
'Pure intrigue. Pure fun.'
The Constitution . . . secret codes . . . loads of history . . . AND pirates! What else does anyone need? The Jefferson Key won't just haunt your nights--it'll haunt your life. Cotton Malone is coming back to the scariest place of all: Home.
In Malone, Berry has created a classic, complex hero
'Berry builds on actual historical facts to create a no-holds-barred thriller guaranteed to increase the pulse of the reader'
Steve Berry always finds intriguing ways to link the past to the present in his fast-paced thrillers.
A top-notch, gripping, intelligent thriller in the very finest traditions of the genre
You don't just read a Steve Berry novel. You live it.
All the Berry hallmarks are here: scale, scope, sweep, history - plus breathless second-by-second suspense. I love this guy.
'Ingeniously plotted . . . Berry offers plenty of twists and vivid action scenes in a feat of historical imagination'
One of the most spellbinding and ingenious openings in all of thrillerdom. The cast of characters is huge but every one of them is memorable. The action is intense and masterfully choreographed. As always with Steve Berry, you're educated about significant things while your knuckles are turning white and the pages are flying. Easily Cotton Malone's most epic, swashbuckling adventure.
Action-packed, fast paced and engaging
