Everything changed in 1994, when Robert Kraft acquired the franchise and brought on board head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Since then, the Patriots have become a juggernaut. How was their dynasty built, and how did it last for two decades?

From the #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of TIGER WOODS comes the definitive inside story of the New England Patriots --- the greatest sports dynasty of the 21st century.

It’s easy to forget that the New England Patriots were once the laughingstock of the NFL, a nearly bankrupt team that had never won a championship and was on the brink of moving to St. Louis. Everything changed in 1994, when Robert Kraft acquired the franchise and soon brought on board head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady. Since then, the Patriots have become a juggernaut, making 10 trips to the Super Bowl, winning six of them, and emerging as one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world.

How was the Patriots dynasty built? And how did it last for two decades? In THE DYNASTY, acclaimed journalist Jeff Benedict provides richly reported answers in a sweeping account based on exclusive interviews with more than 200 insiders --- including team executives, coaches, players, players’ wives, team doctors, lawyers and more --- as well as never-before-seen recordings, documents and electronic communications.

Through his exhaustive research, Benedict uncovers surprising new details about the inner workings of a team notorious for its secrecy. He puts us in the room as Robert Kraft outmaneuvers a legion of lawyers and investors to buy the team. We listen in on the phone call when the greatest trade ever made --- Bill Belichick for a first-round draft choice --- is negotiated. And we look over the shoulder of 40-year-old Tom Brady as a surgeon operates on his throwing hand on the eve of the AFC Championship Game in 2018.

But the portrait that emerges in THE DYNASTY is more rewarding than new details alone. By tracing the team’s epic run through the perspectives of Kraft, Belichick and Brady --- each of whom was interviewed for the book --- the author provides a wealth of new insight into the complex human beings most responsible for the Patriots’ success.

The result is an intimate portrait that captures the human drama of the dynasty’s three key characters while also revealing the secrets behind their success. “THE DYNASTY is…[a] masterpiece…It’s a relationship book, it’s a football book, it’s a business book…you’ll just eat up these stories” (Colin Cowherd).

The #1 New York Times bestselling FBI series returns with Savich and Sherlock confronting two baffling mysteries from the “master of smooth, eminently readable” (Booklist) thrillers Catherine Coulter.

When Rebekah Manvers is contacted by Zoltan, a medium who claims she’s received a message from Rebekah’s now-dead grandfather, she believes the woman is a charlatan. But if so, how does Zoltan know about the secrets Rebekah’s grandfather entrusted her with so many years ago? Certain it’s a con, Rebekah walks away.

The next day, FBI Special Agent Dillon Savich witnesses two men trying to force a woman into a van. Savich fights off the men and rescues the woman, who turns out to be Rebekah Manvers, the wife of wealthy congressman Rich Manvers. Why did these men want to kidnap her? To extort ransom from her husband? Or did it have to do with the medium Zoltan? Or with her grandfather?

Then a box addressed to Savich, stamped “PERSONAL,” arrives at the Criminal Apprehension Unit, containing one-third of a puzzle. The assembled pieces show only an ancient pier and a sidewalk littered with human remains, but no one can identify the location. When a second box arrives, Special Agent Pippa Cinelli recognizes the picture on the puzzle as a scene in her hometown, St. Lumis, Maryland. Intrigued, Savich immediately sends Cinelli to investigate. On her second day in St. Lumis, she’s struck down and left bound in an abandoned building. Cinelli and Savich decide it’s time to involve the local police chief, Matthew Wilde.

Savich and Sherlock quickly learn that what happened in the past casts a long shadow. They must discover the truths not only to save themselves but to prevent further bloodshed.
