Product Description

When an exquisitely crafted, authentic imperial Faberge egg mysteriously shows up at Laurel Swann's home studio, she knows it can only be from one person—her father, who has drifted in and out of her life for as long as she can remember. But this time Jamie Swann leaves her something too many people will kill for.

Out of her league and desperate, Laurel is forced to accept help from the very man who is trying to ensnare her father in his own web of double crosses. Cruz Rowan can help her stay alive, but will he do the same for her father?

Elizabeth Lowell, writing as Ann Maxwell, deftly combines the nonstop action of a spy thriller with the heart-pounding excitement of true love and adventure.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware, November 1, 2006

By	J. D. Palmer "paperback junkie" (Orlando, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an old book that was originally published in 1995 I think. At any rate it's not a new release. This is a good book, just not a new book by Elizabeth Lowell.

Beware, this is a reissue of "The Ruby"; this information does not appear or did not appear when I ordered "Whirlpool".

1.0 out of 5 stars You've already read this as The Ruby!!!, November 21, 2006

By	SailorLawyer (Annapolis, MD) - See all my reviews

Elizabeth Lowell is a good author, but she's really bad about re-issues. I've been tricked by her books before. I don't know if this is her publisher's doing or her own, but it makes me think twice and twice again before I buy anything with her name on it. She's been writing for a long time--I can't always tell from the synopsis if the book is new or not. Her re-issues or new releases ought to be clearly labeled as such (I think Nora Roberts does this now.) You have to open this book and look at the small print to discover she previously published this as "The Ruby" under Ann Maxwell. I don't know what the rationale behind this was, but it's hard to imagine it was done in good faith.
