About this book

The Venetian Betrayal is a fast-paced historical thriller by Steve Berry and the third novel in the popular Cotton Malone series. The story blends modern espionage with ancient history, taking readers on a global adventure filled with conspiracies, political power struggles, and dangerous secrets.

Former U.S. Justice Department operative Cotton Malone, now a rare-book dealer living in Copenhagen, is drawn back into international intrigue when a mysterious museum fire reveals a plot connected to Alexander the Great. A set of stolen ancient medallions may hold the key to locating Alexander’s long-lost tomb—rumored to contain a powerful medical secret capable of curing deadly diseases.

As Malone follows the trail across Europe and into Central Asia, he discovers that a ruthless world leader plans to use biological weapons to reshape global power. With time running out, Malone must uncover the truth behind centuries-old clues and stop a conspiracy that could threaten millions of lives.

Filled with historical mysteries, secret societies, and high-stakes action, The Venetian Betrayal is a gripping adventure that mixes real historical speculation with modern-day espionage.
