Sinopse

Belgium, 1940, during the German invasion. Camille Bonnet accepts an impossible challenge: steal the most valuable industrial diamonds in the world from an Antwerp bank before the Germans get them.
 
Needed for advanced technology the Allied war effort demands, the diamonds are secured in an impregnable basement vault. As Germans swarm the city, Camille sneaks into Antwerp, breaches the vault, and steals the diamonds. Her escape launches the most intense hunt in military history, almost certain to fail.
 
Chased by allies, enemies, crooks, and con artists, she confronts a complex cast of characters: a Gestapo major who hates people but loves animals, a drunken doctor who lost his wife and daughter in an accident, a Parisian housewife linked to the upper echelons of the Nazi Party, and an American double agent.
 
Her mission is to deliver the diamonds to Paris before the Germans capture France... and untangle friend from foe while doing so.
 
A historical thriller with non-stop action, John Anthony Miller's 'All That Glitters' is a story of love, honor, intrigue, and betrayal.

    Peggy Ehrhart's eighth Knit and Nibble Mystery will appeal to fans of cozy mysteries, knitters, and other crafters. Perfect for fans of Betty Hecht, Sadie Hartwell, and Leslie Meier. 
     
     
     
    A member of a prominent New Jersey family has been found dead on St. Patrick's Day—and Pamela Paterson and her knitting club have a parade of suspects . . . 
     
     
      
    The Listers have been part of Arborville society for generations—though seventy-something Isobel Lister doesn't fit the role of upper-crust heiress. She's always been a colorful character, and her fun-loving spirit is on display at the senior center celebration as she performs some beloved Irish songs. But just minutes later, her body is found backstage. 
     
     
      
    It's hard to imagine who'd target a harmless old lady, and Pamela finds herself suspecting everyone. There's the Wiccan who thought St. Patrick wasn't so saintly; the woman upset about cultural appropriation who feels the commercialization of shamrocks is a sham; the two men Isobel was seeing, who could have been green with jealousy—and old friends and family who may have feared Isobel would spill their secrets. But Pamela's on the case, and that means for the killer, the jig will soon be up . . .
