About this ebook
A heart-pumping short story from the New York Times–bestselling author featuring one of operative Cotton Malone's earliest missions . . .
In this alternate-history-with-a-twist Thriller Short, Steve Berry explores one of Cotton Malone's early missions, from a time when Malone was still employed as one of the Magellan Billet's twelve agents.
Malone is sent on a mission to a small central Asian country run by an enigmatic dictator, Yossef Sharma, whose alliance with the United States must be kept under wraps. It's not a mission Malone enjoys, since Sharma has a penchant for burning books. Things get even more interesting when Sharma connects Malone with the world's most infamous criminal, a man who wants to surrender. Things are not always what they seem, and Malone will need Sharma's help if he plans to set things right and give the devil his due.
This story was originally published in the "outstanding anthology" Thriller ( Publishers Weekly), edited by #1 New York Times–bestselling author James Patterson. Many other Thriller Shorts are available from such blockbuster authors as Lee Child, David Morrell, Brad Thor, Katherine Neville, Heather Graham, and Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child.
