But when his office and apartment are ransacked and he's blindsided by an assailant, Paul realizes that the saga of legendary pioneer Katie Baker is far from over. He heads back to Oregon's Rogue River valley to unearth the secrets still buried there. Forced to confide in the beautiful attorney who ruthlessly used him once before to prove her claim to the Baker millions, Paul becomes aware of someone stalking them both. Running from something dark and infinitely deadly, he relentlessly dodges a shadow figure willing to murder to claim a dead woman's secrets. Paul knows that to survive he must outsmart a brilliant and dangerous enemy long enough to find out what Katie Baker was so desperate to hide...and why.

Now divorced and forced into action by a thief, Paul's back in Oregon, where someone is systematically eliminating anyone with knowledge of the deceased old woman's estate. Did she hide some money somewhere? Soon it's just Paul and the still attractive attorney, who's the real heir.

Kde Končí Všechny Sny
by Pierluigi Di Cosimo Danica BartošováKrátce o knize:Kde končí všechny sny a kde začíná život? Nebo kde končí život a začínají sny?To jsou otázky, se kterými se setkáme, když budeme sledovat dobrodružství Petra a Pamely. Na řádcích tohoto příběhu je budeme doprovázet na fantastické cestě na místo i při návratu z něj zpět, místo, které si každý z nás vytvořil ve své vlastní mysli, díky své vlastní víře, nebo díky vlastnímu přesvědčení, že nic nekončí navždy. Když překonáme naše obavy, pak se setkáme s našimi sny, o které budeme muset pečovat jako o malé děti. A spolu se dvěma hrdiny příběhu se budeme muset o ně postarat, aby se jim nic zlého nestalo, vychovávat je a bojovat za ně, snažit se je realizovat s veškerou energií, kterou nám samotné sny předávají. To je naše podstata bytí. Přestat věřit v tyto sny nebo je nenásledovat, by nás uvedlo do bolestí a zanechalo nás s hrstkou prachu v ruce. A právě v tomto okamžiku, všechno a my, ve skutečnosti končíme, to je okamžik, ve kterém končí život. Budou umět Petr s Pamelou bojovat proti nečemu skutečnému ale neurčitému? Budou umět nalézt tuto nitku, která sjednotí jejich sny, aby se návratili zpátky do života a žili jejich sny?
