"Fast-Paced and Suspenseful!"
A year ago someone murdered Serena Charters' grandmother
Lisbeth by burning the elderly woman's cabin with her
inside it. Though no one has been caught, California
finally releases the estate to Serena as the only known
member of Lisbeth's family. Serena inherits some small
property, a Swiss bank account, a safety deposit box, and
four pages from a centuries-old text that should have
contained six hundred vellum sheets. Serena turns to medieval manuscript expert Erik North to
verify the value of the four sheets from the Book of the
Learned and to assist her in finding the rest of the pages.
Serena and Erik feel as if they know each other though they
are meeting for the first time. They also have a powerful
attraction towards one another, but before they can see
where it leads them or where it originated from, they soon
find themselves as MOVING TARGETS of a killer who wants to
own the Book of the Learned. Elizabeth Lowell is known for her strong characters and her
latest tale includes two stalwart lead protagonists. The
story line is fast-paced and loaded with non-stop action
except for the occasional unnecessary diversion that adds
nothing to a packed novel. The information on rare books is
clearly researched and fully incorporated into the plot
without missing a beat, adding depth to the novel. Fans of
Ms. Lowell and those who enjoy a powerful romantic suspense
with a touch of the paranormal will find Moving
Target
a bewitching story. Harriet Klausner
