Book excerpt: "I'm afraid I may have become a Hart-addict." -Kaththea Spurlock, LoveRomances.com Connor MacLean is a rare book dealer. Connor is a successful businessman, respected by his peers and considered an expert in the field. MacLean attends an estate sale in an affluent Chicago suburb, where he intends to purchase a number of one-of-a-kind items. This sets the stage for a hidden map, possibly revealing the location of a fabulous treasure hidden from the Nazis during the opening days of WWII. The map exists and several people think it's worth killing for. Travel across the United States to a former POW camp for Axis prisoners, where clues are hidden, to a whitewater chase on the Wolf River in Wisconsin. Help MacLean and Elena, his assistant and lover, decipher the code that will lead them to the treasure, or possibly to their deaths. While MacLean deals with an ex-wife, alcoholic father, crotchety grandfather, jealous rival book dealers and neo-Nazis, led by a former German air ace, you will wonder what can go wrong next. All the action leads to a series of plot twists, unexpected developments and the final confrontation on Lake Prespa in Macedonia.
