Having finished serving in the secret group Magellan, agent Cotton Malone finally decided to give up a life full of deadly adventures and settled in quiet, calm Denmark. Or at least that's what it seemed to him at first... Because his old life unceremoniously broke into his house in the form of two armed men chasing a third. Cotton learns that his close friend needs help. He is eager to shed the blood of the scoundrel responsible for the death of his son. Malone doesn't approve of vendettas, but it's not his style to refuse friends. The chase from Denmark moves to France, to Paris. And then Cotton finds out that, following in the footsteps of the villain, he is getting closer... to solving the mystery of Napoleon's treasures, for the sake of which the persecuted is ready to acquire more than one bloodline for himself...
