Three Fates
She was shimmering silver, small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. He took possession of her on an impulse--never knowing that she was more than just a trinket who might fetch a pretty price in a pawnshop at the next port. Then a thunderous explosion rocked the ship--and in mere minutes, so many fates were changed....
When the Lusitania sank, more than a thousand people died. One passenger who survived became a changed man, giving up his life as a petty thief--though keeping the small silver statue he lifted, a family heirloom to future generations. Now, nearly a century later, that statue, one of a priceless, long-separated set of three, has been snatched from the Sullivans. And Malachi, Gideon, and Rebecca Sullivan are determined to recover their great-great-grandfather's treasure, reunite the Three Fates, and make their fortune.
The quest will take them far from their home in Ireland: To Helsinki, where Malachi seeks out Tia Marsh, a formidable American scholar whose privileged background, sharp mind, and authoritative knowledge of Greek mythology mask a fragile, fear-plagued woman within, and whose family is an important link to the mysterious mising statue. To Prague, where a bold exotic dancer named Cleo will enchant Gideon Sullivan--and embark on a gamble to turn her life around. And to New york, where security expert Jack Burdett joins the Sullivans in their fight against an ambitious woman who will stop at nothing to acquire the Fates.
