Scott Brick, Meltzer's top choice for his thriller fiction, performs the author's latest work, which takes a long, hard look at 10 of American history's greatest mysteries and tries to solve them. One example is the mystery of what happened to the notorious airline hijacker D.B. Cooper, who disappeared after parachuting from the plane. Brick’s finely honed delivery keeps the complex stories straight. His trustworthy voice, like that of a newscaster, adds to the enjoyment of the program. While some mysteries are not solved completely, with close examination and new information, listeners are allowed to make up their own minds about possible outcomes.

Adapted from Decoded, Meltzer's hit show on the HISTORY network, History Decoded explores fascinating, unexplained questions. Is Fort Knox empty? Why was Hitler so intent on capturing the Roman `Spear of Destiny'? What's the government hiding in Area 51? Where did the Confederacy's $19 million in gold and silver go at the end of the Civil War? And did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone? Meltzer sifts through the evidence; weighs competing theories; separates what we know to be true with what's still-and perhaps forever-unproved or unprovable; and in the end, decodes the mystery, arriving at the most likely solution. Along the way we meet Freemasons, Rosicrucians, Nazi propagandists, and the real DB Cooper.
