The Devil's Bible by Steve BerryMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Steve Berry returns with the 20th novel in the Cotton Malone series, in which he and his cohorts get involved with a missing medieval codex, and also a missing Swedish princess, which may have possible connections to the fictional Konstantin Franko regime in Russia that stands in for Putin's imperialism in this universe. It also connects to the still-unsolved assassination of Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, with Berry going with the theory that it was a Soviet hit job. Ultimately, Berry goes somewhere he very rarely goes - killing off a major character who has been involved in the series since the very beginning, which explains why it begins with a prologue where Cotton reflects back on where this mission went so badly wrong and wonders if it was worth it.
