Publisher's Summary
Cardinal Black is the latest installment in Robert McCammon's unique series of historical thrillers featuring Matthew Corbett, professional problem solver, who has been called "the Early American James Bond."
December 1703 finds Berry Grigsby living as Mary Lynn Nash in a small English village where she has fallen victim to Professor Fell's involuntary drug experiments. Her mind is quickly deteriorating under the drug’s influence, and the only way to save her is a potion book that was stolen in an attack on the village orchestrated by a mysterious madman going by the name Cardinal Black.
Matthew Corbett has volunteered to travel with Julian Devane, a self-proclaimed "fool and bad man" in the employ of Professor Fell, to hunt down the potion book. They follow the trail to London, where the book will be sold at a secret auction. Matthew and Julian manage to secure a seat at the auction by masquerading as respected and feared underground operatives, but to prevail in their high-stakes mission, they will require help from a very unlikely source. Even if they are successful, their race to save Berry Grigsby will leave a trail of destruction in its wake.
Cardinal Black is another extraordinary achievement from one of America's most skilled authors, and it features some of the most memorable, compelling, and chilling characters in the Matthew Corbett series to date, each with their own competing agendas. This masterful historical adventure is perfectly balanced for long-time fans of the series and new listeners alike who are now joining the adventure.

Enjoyable as always
Fans of this series will definitely enjoy this book. Personally I feel Edoardo Ballerini deserves a lot of credit. I could listen to him until the end of days. The book itself might not stick with you but good entertainment.
However, what is carved in my memory forever I feel, is the word (and image of) :
Tricorne. I understand that every writer has a favorite word on repeat in every book but can someone actually count how many times tricorne is used in this book? Has to be hundreds plus 😅

Brilliant and intense
One of the best in the series. A real knuckle biter. I cannot get enough of this rich world of intrigue. I loved it.
