I just finished reading The Atlas Maneuver, Steve Berry's latest Cotton Malone thriller. This time, Malone, a retired Justice Department agent, helps out a friend by providing protection to an informant hiding out in the Swiss city of Basel. This informant turns out to be the inventor of bitcoin, who has knowledge of the Bank of St. George, the oldest bank in the world and located in Luxembourg, stealing billions in gold the CIA appropriated at the end of World War II, and using it to purchase bitcoin, in an attempt to take over the world's financial systems by cornering the cryptocurrency market. Things begin to turn violent, as a battle begins between the Bank of St. George and the CIA. Malone, along with his girlfriend and spy partner Cassiopeia Vitt, must work quickly to stop a major threat to the world (like we need more of those these days). This book is an exciting read, has lots of action, and features characters who are very likeable. I strongly recommend picking up a copy at your local library today.
