In 1945, Japan buried mountains of stolen treasure in the Philippines, booby-trapped and hidden from the world. Two years later, the U.S. government quietly recovered some of it, stamped it classified, and fed it into the Black Eagle Trust. The world was never told.
Now, decades later, Cotton Malone stumbles into the shadow of that secret. What begins as a favor in Switzerland spirals into a deadly conflict between the CIA and the world’s oldest bank. The trail of deception stretches from Luxembourg’s vaults to Switzerland’s corridors of power and into the deadly heights of Morocco.
At the heart of it all stands a woman from Cotton’s past, and the truth she carries may ignite a global reckoning buried since World War II.
