Slow but stick with it

While I couldn't have cared less about all the historical/archaological stuff and found it dragged the story down, Mariah Stewart has a way of creating compelling characters that you care about, and that makes this book worth reading. Don't be put off by the slow start -- it's worth the time!

great series

I HAVE READ THE WHOLE LAST SERIES. THIS BOOK IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE LAST. I CAN ONLY HOPE THERE WILL BE MORE.

Great book. I enjoyed every minute of it. It just ended too soon.

exciting FBI romantic suspense thriller

Internationally renowned archeologist Dr. Daria McGowan is euphoric that Howe University has provided with the first public exhibit of the incredible find of her great grandfather. In 1908 in Asia Minor, Alistair McGowan located the lost ancient city of Shandihar. The artifacts he brought home a century ago will finally be on display in Pennsylvania. As Daria prepares the exhibit, she notices some of the more valuable items listed in the meticulously accurate catalogue are missing. She turns to FBI Agent Connor Shields, whom she previously met for assistance. Connor has not forgotten her and sees this as an opportunity to see where their attraction leads them. They follow leads to the new owners of the artifacts, but in each case that person was brutally slain in a ritual killing with the artifact gone. Connor assumes that a Middle East based cult sworn to die to protect and in this case recover the treasures of the lost city are the killers, which means Daria is on the hit list. The latest Shields FBI romantic suspense thriller (see LAST WORD and LAST LOOK) is a thrilling whodunit that grips the audience from the onset when the person in the shadows vows to correct his failure and never slows down until the finish. The story is a fast-paced cat and mouse struggle between the lead pair and a diabolical dedicated killer with a lucid objective to cleanse the mistake of the last century. Mariah Stewart is at her best with the final Shields saga. Harriet Klausner
