COIN FICTION BOOK: THE VENETIAN BETRAYAL BY STEVE BERRY
On occasion we discuss fiction books that incorporate
numismatic themes. A blog post this week discusses a book that involves a
book dealer and elephant medallions of Alexander the Great. -Editor
In Steve Berrys third Cotton Malone novel, The
Venetian Betrayal, several elements weave together to tell a story of
fear, domination, and the search for historical greatness. Someone has
been stealing elephant medallions that portray Alexander the Great. It is
suspected that Irina Zovastina, Supreme Minister of the Central Asian
Federation, is behind the thefts. Why? Some believe that Zovastina has
found the long-lost tomb of Alexander the Great. Meanwhile, an American
virologist has discovered a secret that will revolutionize HIV care. But
what is his connection with Zovastina? And why has retired US Justice
Department agent Cotton Malone, a bookseller in Copenhagen, been dragged
into the mess?Wayne Homren, Editor
