A thriller you can't put down: love, danger, and intrigue!!
What a great story. Jackson and Nellie! What happened to their love 10
years ago? What will happen to them now? Jackson has barely recovered
from the horrible murder of his wife, Catherine -- apparently in an art
deal gone bad. And his old flame Nellie shows up. Will her spirited
attempt to help her beloved Jackson "solve the case" succeed? Or will
Jackson cure his sorrows by going back on the road, back in business
with the new woman Anna?... The author's knowledge of these faraway
countries and their culture was impressive. She tucked details into
every situation, making this mysterious part of the world and the
twisted business of art dealing come alive... [Pat Drum, Florida]
The author has woven
a compelling tale of mystery and suspense....
The international dealing in legal and illicit Asian antiquities is as
much a part of the story as the characters themselves.
The
characters are all very human: some evil, some loyal and courageous,
and some vain and self-centered. Each character engages and holds the
reader's interest, but not always the reader's sympathy, through the
twists and turns of international intrigue. The action is fast-paced
and compelling with surprising revelations about the strengths,
weaknesses, and background of the characters as the story develops. The
ending is satisfying, but unexpected, with surprises until the final
page. Any fan of mystery and suspense will enjoy this compelling novel
by a talented writer. [Donald R. Hayworth, Florida]
A GREAT READ! I am a book snob! I usually read
mystery, suspense, etc. written by established authors. A friend
suggusted this book and I thought OK I'll give a try. I am sure glad I
did as I now have another great writer to add to my list. I was
captivated from start to finish, it was refreshing to read a book
different from what I have read lately.... [Joy Rogers, Florida]
