Kat recalls that Dakota always did have rotten taste in men, but would any of them be bad enough to bomb the theater where Dakota is playing in Memphis, drop a stage light on her in Atlanta and shoot a singer who looks just like her in Nashville? As the two renew their friendship on the road and endure the scary adoration of desperate fans, Kat slogs through a trail of no-account men and boozy dives, hoping to find the perpetrator before Dakota sings her last song. When Kat Colorado receives a plea for help from a childhood friend she immediately flies out to Nashville.

At the opening of this book a cadaver is discovered, the body of an impeccable businessman from Munich, in an elaborate garden where topiary shrubs delineate a hidden chessboard behind the hedges. The death seems to be a suicide, with no plausible motivation, but then, as the plot of this thriller unfolds, we begin to see that its apparently random moves are variations on an opening gambit, and it can end only in a checkmate that annihilates the possibility of a rematch. Gary Kasparov has defined chess as "the most violent sport in existence", and that is true in this extraordinary novel, too. For the mortal duel around which it is constructed is between two chess players who are opposed human types - a clever, persecuted Jew and a ruthless, persecuting German - and when they face each other over a chessboard, at first in big international tournaments and then in a Nazi death camp, the stakes are nothing less than life itself.

Murder at the Museum of Natural History marks the return of Lieutenant William Donovan to the mystery arena. In his fourth adventure, Donovan continues his trademark pursuit of killers who use exotic weapons to shed blood on the floors of Big Apple landmarks. This time he tracks a murderer who steals a priceless one-thousand-year-old dagger - a gift Marco Polo was carrying to Kublai Khan from the Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII - and strikes at the gala opening celebration of a world-famous archaeological exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. In the course of several very busy days and nights, Donovan sorts clues and interrogates suspects while keeping company with the victim's movie star wife. The stunning and infamous Katy Lucca has become, overnight, the world's wealthiest, most beautiful, and, clearly, hottest-blooded widow. Several questions loom: Who killed playboy billionaire and archaeologist Paolo Lucca? Is Katy involved in her husband's death? How will Donovan handle some very shady, and extremely dangerous, characters - provincial terrorists and Russian mafiosi - who fled to New York from the ashes of the old Soviet Union? The Treasure of the Silk Road exhibit, an incredible display of artifacts from the old Silk Road that ran from Cathay to the West, has brought all of these characters together. Now Donovan must search through layers of deception and the halls of the American Museum of Natural History to uncover a brutal murderer. Condition: A fine copy in like jacket.
