Again, I say wow! Linda Chaikin delights us again with the thrilling second book in the Lions of the Desert series. In this book, Allison Wescott is in the Arabian Desert, nursing wounded WWI soldiers in August 1915. Colonel Bret Holden has disappeared from her life, and she struggles to go on amidst all the pain and agony. Suddenly, Bret shows up again and she's swept into a whirlwind of events in the espionage ring again. She stays at the Blaine House with Sarah Blaine and there seems to be an invisible, mysterious intruder watching her every move! When seemingly innocent people are murdered brutally, Allison and Bret must look deeper...who can they trust? No one is who they seem to be...

This book will kep you thrilled till the very end. I highly recommend it!
