"A thrilling work of suspense"

In 1945 Austria, American soldiers stop a Nazi train loaded with stolen art, gold and jewelry. General Sam Flaherty has his men catalogue the booty while expecting General Mallory to find a storage area for the valuable loot.

In 2000 Colorado, Lieutenant Colonel Irish Flaherty is stunned by the newspaper account that a Presidential Advisory Commission looking into missing Holocaust treasures names his grandfather as a potential thief. Irish cannot believe his mentor who taught him about honor, duty, and country would do such a deed. Irish decides to prove the innocence of his grandfather and begins making inquiries that take him to Professor Amy Mallory. She also believes her grandfather would never dishonor his uniform.

The third grandchild of the posthumously accused generals, Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of State Dustin Eachan knows that his hopes for the top job ended with this story. He informs his cousin to hide a painting that is on the inventory list though he believes that his grandfather is innocent of any real looting.

All three descendants are impacted by the crimes of five decades ago, but to make matters worse, someone wants the trio and anyone close to them dead.

Though romantic intrigue readers will relish Patricia Potter's latest novel, BROKEN HONOR, mystery fans will cherish the tale just as much. The characters are realistic, especially their varying reactions to the media release of the theft. Readers will struggle to ascertain whom the villain is while rooting for the trio to save the reputations of their ancestors. Ms. Potter has written a great story that will gain her a wealth of new fans.

From USA Bestselling author Patricia Potter, a gripping new suspense novel about the demands of honor -- and the demands of the heart.

Long ago, in the waning years of World War II, a Nazi train was captured by the Allies. Its cargo -- a fortune in stolen art and gold dust -- vanished. Now, two strangers are about to become engulfed in its tantalizing mystery.

Influenced by her rebellious, hippy mother and the tragic legacy of her authoritarian grandfather -- a retired general -- history professor Amy Mallory vowed never to fall for a man in uniform. But her late grandfather's private files exposes her to a dangerous -- and tempting -- world she never imagined . . .

Colonel Lucien (Irish) Flaherty has devoted his life to duty, honor, country. But all that he believes is shattered when his grandfather's honor is tainted by scandal -- and by secrets that link his past to that of a beautiful stranger, secrets that someone would kill to keep buried, secrets that bring Amy and Irish together in unexpected passion and inescapable peril.
