“The Jefferson Key” was the first book I read by Steve Berry, and since finishing yesterday afternoon I have ordered copies of 3 more Berry books: The Templar Legacy, The Emperor’s Tomb, and The Amber Room.  In short, The Jefferson Key is THAT good.  The book starts out with Cotton Malone, ex-government operative and subject of many Steve Berry books (click HERE for full list), being called in to help take down a pack of ruffians with ties to groups as far back as the revolution.  The book then entwines real history with intriguing (though fictional) conspiracy as Malone embarks on his quest to take down the modern day pirates.  For those interested in govnerment/thriller/conspiracy/history novels, The Jefferson Key effectively and seamlessly combines each of those in a fast-paced thrill ride that takes readers from Andrew Jackson to today.  Definitely a TCJ Book Club “Must Read”.  Buy your copy from Amazon for 50% off the cover price for a limited time only.

Still not convinced? Read thoughts on the book from the following best-selling authors and big names in journalism:

• “One of the most spellbinding and ingenious openings in all of thrillerdom. The cast of characters is huge but every one of them is memorable. The action is intense and masterfully choreographed. As always with Steve Berry, you’re educated about significant things while your knuckles are turning white and the pages are flying. Easily Cotton Malone’s most epic, swashbuckling adventure.” —David Baldacci
• “The Constitution. . . secret codes . . . loads of history. . . AND pirates! What else does anyone need? The Jefferson Key won’t just haunt your nights–it’ll haunt your life. Cotton Malone is coming back to the scariest place of all: Home.” —Brad Meltzer
• “THE JEFFERSON KEY starts with a bang and holds the reader in its grip until the last page. Fascinating American history, up-to-the-minute politics, pulse-pounding action. This is a story Mitch Rapp would love.” —Vince Flynn
  

Summary via Amazon:

• Four United States presidents have been assassinated—in 1865, 1881, 1901, and 1963—each murder seemingly unrelated and separated by time.But what if those presidents were all killed for the same reason: a clause in the United States Constitution—contained within Article 1, Section 8—that would shock Americans?  This question is what faces former Justice Department operative Cotton Malone in his latest adventure.  When a bold assassination attempt is made against President Danny Daniels in the heart of Manhattan, Malone risks his life to foil the killing—only to find himself at dangerous odds with the Commonwealth, a secret society of pirates first assembled during the American Revolution. In their most perilous exploit yet, Malone and Cassiopeia Vitt race across the nation and take to the high seas. Along the way they break a secret cipher originally possessed by Thomas Jefferson, unravel a mystery concocted by Andrew Jackson, and unearth a centuries-old document forged by the Founding Fathers themselves, one powerful enough—thanks to that clause in the Constitution—to make the Commonwealth unstoppable.
