The Murders of Richard III - Elizabeth Peters [92]
The Dead Sea Cipher
Dinah Van der Lyn heard the cries for help through her hotel room wall, cries in English in the middle of Beirut. “Help” was the only English word spoken. She thought the men were simply drunk and fighting. Her mistake was the first step on an odyssey of terror that would take Dinah to the fabled cities of Sidon, Tyre, Damascus…
And then Jerusalem, racing around its winding streets not knowing if the man she has been following will lead her to safety…or into a deadly trap!
The Night of Four Hundred Rabbits
An unexpected “gift” has arrived for Carol Farley this Christmas: an envelope bearing a newspaper clipping and no return address. There, blurred but unmistakable, is a photo of a man missing for years and feared dead—Carol’s father.

Now, surrounded by towering pyramids of Mexico City’s Walk of the Dead, a frightened yet resolute young woman searches for a perilous truth and for the beloved parent she thought was gone forever. But there are dark secrets lurking in the shadows of antiquity, a conspiracy she never imagined…and enemies who are determined that Carol Farley will not leave Mexico alive.

Here, where the blood of the long-forgotten damned stains ancient stones, Vicky must face two equally perilous possibilities. Either a powerful supernatural evil inhabits this place…or someone frighteningly real is willing to kill for what Vicky is determined to find.
