And if one of them wasn't being hunted by killers. Jackson's brother's fiancee, Hillary, has been receiving death threats, likely tied to her career as a defense attorney. Getting away for a relaxing weekend seems prudent until they find evidence that someone is following their group. Hillary refuses to turn back, which puts Jackson on edge, seeing snipers behind ski lifts and questioning the loyalty of his traveling companions. And when a heavy snowstorm strands them all in their palatial cabin with a mysterious stranger, his paranoia seems perfectly apropos. As the night wears on, fears become reality. Killers breach the cabin, forcing the group to use whatever means necessary to fight for their survival. As dawn nears, they hatch a plan to save themselves. But will they escape from danger, or place themselves in its very midst?"

Book excerpt: When Private Investigator Jackson Douglas is approached by "history hunter" Joel Robinson with a legend about Crusader treasure, he is more than a little wary.

So Jackson joins Joel and his team in their pursuit to decipher the riddle of "The Holy Trinity," believed to be the key to locating the treasure. Questions loom over the expedition from the beginning. What exactly is the treasure? What power did the Crusaders believe it possessed? Why did they go to such great lengths to conceal it? Who else is after the treasure, and what danger do they pose to the team? And which of his teammates can Jackson trust . . . and which can't he? The quest will take Jackson from a prestigious art gallery in New York City to a secret vault high in the Alps to the very land the Crusaders and Muslims fought over centuries ago, testing his deductive abilities-and his faith-at every turn.

So P.I. Jackson Douglas knows reclaiming it for Alec's daughter Abby won't be easy. But should it really be this hard? Complicating matters are a host of government agencies, fake federal agents, spies, ex-girlfriends, and Alec's son-each of whom wants the Bible for various reasons. However, nobody causes Jackson and Abby as much trouble as the mystery woman who joins the hunt with them. Pursuit of the Bible takes them from an opulent downtown L.A. hotel to an art gala on Santa Catalina Island, and from a game of cat-and-mouse aboard Amtrak's Coast Starlight to a snow-covered mountain hideaway. If Jackson is to procure the Bible for Abby, he'll need to stay one step ahead of the entire gang-not to mention stay alive long enough to figure out how to pull it off.

His cousin Graham is missing, leaving behind a cranky girlfriend and a cryptic message but little else.

The more they learn, the more questions Ray and Lauren have-and the more they fear the worst about Graham. Set against the panorama of the Teton Mountains, Broken Trust explores the lust for power, the relationship between the mystic and the divine, and the depths of loyalty and friendship . . . and ends with a bang!
