This book is part of a two story series (so far) about Cotton Malone. He was a former operative who bought a rare bookshop in the hopes of settling down. Instead, his son is taken hostage and the book begins to look at the world of secret organizations while he works to fight the 72 hour timeline he was given to find the lost Alexandria Library. Well written with fast dialogue and surprising plot twists, I hope that there will be more books to follow.
