But a brainy and beautiful law student, Darby Shaw, discovers her own clues to the killer—clues that could topple the government. And take her with it. From the cool corridors of the White House to the zesty French Quarter in New Orleans, a novel that races to a stunning conclusion. Treasures by Belva Plain The future looks full of promise for Eddy, Connie, and Lara Osborne—a brother and two sisters from Ohio. It's the high-flying 1980s, and Eddy is headed for stunning success on Wall Street. Connie relishes well-born suitors and fine homes in big citites. Only Lara, it seems will settle for the treasures close to home. But as all three discover, life is never predictable—and its richest rewards are sometimes found where we least expect them. A stirring new novel from a best-selling author. Eye of the Storm by Jack Higgins Sean Dillon is a master assassin with cold eyes and nerves of steel. His client list reads like a who's who of international menace: the KGB, the PLO, the IRA. So in 1991, with the Gulf war in full bloom he is the top choice as hit man when Saddam Hussein decides to show the world he can strike anywhere. But when Dillon runs head-on into his old nemesis, a Special Forces hero, a fierce clash begins. Outstanding suspense from the author of The Eagle Has Flown.
