The Columbus Affair
by Steve Berry
He was called by many names—Columb, Colom,
Colón—but we know him as Christopher Columbus. Many questions about him exist:
Where was he born, raised, and educated? Where did he die? How did he discover
the New World?
None have ever been properly answered.
And then there is the greatest secret of all.
From Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling
author, comes an exciting new adventure—one that challenges everything we
thought we knew about the discovery of America.
Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative journalist
Tom Sagan has written hard-hitting articles from hot spots around the world.
But when a controversial report from a war-torn region is exposed as a fraud,
his professional reputation crashes and burns. Now he lives in virtual
exile—haunted by bad decisions and the shocking truth he can never prove: that
his downfall was a deliberate act of sabotage by an unknown enemy. But before
Sagan can end his torment with the squeeze of a trigger, fate intervenes in the
form of an enigmatic stranger with a request that cannot be ignored.
Zachariah Simon has the look of a scholar, the
soul of a scoundrel, and the zeal of a fanatic. He also has Tom Sagan’s
estranged daughter at his mercy. Simon desperately wants something only Sagan
can supply: the key to a 500-year-old mystery, a treasure with explosive
political significance in the modern world. For both Simon and Sagan the stakes
are high, the goal intensely personal, the consequences of opposing either man
potentially catastrophic. On a perilous quest from Florida to Vienna to Prague
and finally to the mountains of Jamaica, the two men square off in a dangerous
game. Along the way, both of their lives will be altered—and everything we know
about Christopher Columbus will change.
