Synopsis

Queens of the Night , book three featuring criminology professor Sarah Ann Milland­­ -Sam to her friends- is working on an archeological dig in Jordan.  She and Boots, the dig director, while surveying the area from the air in an ultra-light aircraft narrowly escape being shot down by a criminal gang in the process of looting priceless artifacts. 

Sam, her father and her ex-husband and lover-police detective Geoff, discover that the dig is a cover for a scheme to counterfeit priceless treasures.  With Sam’s friend Lee-Ann, a Mossad agent, they uncover the plot to sell these treasures through a chain of international art galleries with proceeds allegedly going to charities.  The money is really destined to fund terrorism. 

Murder, blackmail, and an elaborate plot make Queens of the Night a must read.
