Fiction

I’ve read a couple of his things before, but those were historical fiction. This is the first book I’ve read featuring his protagonist, Cotton Malone. This involves privateers who were granted letters of marque in perpetuity by Congress and President Washington in 1793. Andrew Jackson removed, and hid, the record of the Congressional vote after they tried to assassinate him in 1835. The location of the documents are protected by a code Thomas Jefferson thought to be unsolvable.
