1945.** In the waning months of World War II, Japan hid gold and other stolen valuables all across the Philippines. When some of that loot was recovered by the United States government, the assets were stamped classified, shipped to Europe, and secretly assimilated into something called the Black Eagle Trust.

Present day. Retired Justice Department operative, Cotton Malone, is in Switzerland doing a favour for a friend. But the operation rapidly turns violent and Cotton is thrust into a battle that directly involves the Black Eagle Trust. He quickly discovers that everything hinges on a woman from his past, who suddenly reappears and reveals that bitcoin is being quietly weaponized, readied for an assault on the world's financial systems.

Cotton has no choice. He has to act. Will Cotton Malone be stymied at every turn, and will he finally come face-to-face with the Atlas Maneuver?

From celebrated New York Times bestselling author Steve Berry comes the latest Cotton Malone adventure, in which Cotton unravels a mystery from World War II involving a legendary lost treasure, Yamashita's Gold, worth billions.
