Why read it?
1 author picked The Bishop's Pawn as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I really enjoy all of Steve Berry’s books but this one stuck with me. This adventure of Cotton Malone examines the death of Martin Luther King from a very different perspective. As a teenager at the time of King's demise, I was intrigued by his spin. Rarely do I feel compelled to do research after I read his books because he does it for you at the end of his books. This one had me looking for some of Rev King's speeches and reading for myself. Pick this one up you won’t want to put it down.
From Cathy's list on the Cold War, Nazi hunting, and growing up with spies.
