The Patriot Threat

Description

Retired intelligence operative Cotton Malone is drawn into a deadly hunt for millions of dollars—and a set of explosive documents that could challenge the legitimacy of the U.S. income tax. From a violent encounter in Venice to a conspiracy reaching back to the Founding Fathers, the 16th Amendment, and the era of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Malone must navigate shifting alliances and international danger. As a rogue heir to North Korea’s former leadership seeks to weaponize the evidence, the thriller explores the tension between historical truth, political power, and national identity. Fast-paced and richly layered with historical detail, the novel blends geopolitical intrigue with a provocative question at the heart of American government.
