This is the next in Cotton Malone series by Steve Berry. I enjoy the series and he tries to tie them in with sort of true investigations or possibilities. This is about Bavaria in Germany--where it was ruled by a King prior to Bismark I guess and incorporated into Germany. The story goes before King Ludwig II was forced to give up the crown, he had agreed and signed papers to become the new King of Hawaii--this is back in the 1880s or earlier. A stretch of the imagination but points to the sort of raw deals Bavaria got being pushed into Germany and Hawaii got when the US basically tookover the islands from the ruling family. All the action happens in Germany and bad ex-CIA guys, China, the would be new King and brother of Bavaria and the US with some good CIA, Luke Daniels and Cotton are all looking for the paperwork/deed to show ownership to force what they want. If you buy all that okay, then also have to buy that Cotton can figure out a bunch of mystery clues and avoid plenty of opportunities to be shot or killed too. A little out there but just reading for the quick action page turner so it still worked for me.
There are like 23 WL for this book on PBS so will try to post & mail off, I like sending these off since I get them from PBS. Problem is I have too many of these WL books that I have read but also have enough credits so don't need more yet.
