I had hoped to have read all the previously published books before I started to read THE MALTA EXCHANGE, however, time got away from me. On the plus side, I do still have three unread books left to read. The Cotton Malone series is one of those series that I have kept reading through the years. It's just the last couple of years that I've gotten a bit behind, but each book can be read stand-alone. And I can't recommend this series enough if you like reading well- researched adventures thrillers.

As for THE MALTA EXCHANGE, as an ex-theologian student it was interesting to read a story where the Catholic Church and the Knights of Malta were heavily involved with. I have to admit there were moments when I thought that Steve Berry was a bit too eager to impress the readers with his historical research. I mean I love history, but I also don't want to drown in it when I'm reading a fiction book. However, besides that, THE MALTA EXCHANGE is both fascinating and engrossing. And the ending is really memorable.

Book Summary

The next in New York Times top 5 bestseller Steve Berry's Cotton Malone series involves the Knights of Malta, papal conclave, and lost documents that could change history.

The pope is dead and Cardinals are arriving at the Vatican to open a conclave to pick his successor, but one prince of the Church has fled Rome to Malta in search of a document that dates back to the 4th century and Constantine the Great.

Former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone is at Lake Como, Italy, on the trail of legendary letters between Winston Churchill and Benito Mussolini, letters that disappeared in 1945 and could now re-write world history. But someone else is after them too and, when Malone obtains then loses them, he’s plunged into a hunt involving the Knights of Malta, a 900-year-old organization rife with division and currently being steered by the Secreti, a sect within determined to affect the coming conclave.

With the help of Luke Daniels, Malone races both the Knights and the clock, across Italy to Malta, and finally to Rome, behind the walls of the Vatican, where the election of the next pope hangs in the balance. Bestseller Steve Berry delivers yet another remarkable thriller in The Malta Exchange.
