Book Review:
''The Jefferson Key'' by Steve Berry is one of the most spellbinding and ingenious openings in all of thrillerdom. Four United States presidents have been assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each murder seemingly unrelated. But what if those presidents were all killed for the same reason: a clause in the United States Constitution—a clause that would shock the world?

In the most perilous exploit of his life, former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone must combat the Commonwealth, a treacherous, piratical society first assembled during the American Revolution. Along the way, he must break a secret cipher originally possessed by President Thomas Jefferson and unearth a centuries-old document which could make the Commonwealth unstoppable in its lust for power.

Berry is a master of the historical thriller, and The Jefferson Key is Cotton Malone's most epic, swashbuckling adventure yet. The suspense is breathless, and the historical puzzles are fascinating. If you enjoy Dan Brown, historical mysteries, or action-packed thrillers, The Jefferson Key is a must-read. Highly recommended!
