W idowed college professor Jim McAllister is involved in an accident one snowy night in Vermont. When he rescues Alex Scorsese, a U. S. State Department courier, he never expects to fall in love. But that's exactly what happens. While the couple honeymoon in Paris, Alex picks up a diplomatic pouch that leads them into a harrowing dash across Europe. They evade terrorists, escape a plane crash, and narrowly avoid an embassy assassination attempt only to find themselves shot down over the icy Atlantic. After a cruise ship rescues them, the unthinkable happens: Alex dies. Finding the strength to keep living after losing his second wife proves an incredible challenge for Jim, and he finds support from an unlikely place: Leigh Scorsese, Alex's twenty-one-year-old daughter. But Jim is still in jeopardy because of the information he now carries in his memory. When Leigh is kidnapped and held hostage, Jim has a tough choice to make: either lose Leigh or give up the information the whole world wants-the coordinates to bin Laden's hiding place. Combining a tender love story with a violent escape chase across Europe, Winter White is a heart-stopping, first-rate thriller. | Winter White by Deborah S Hughes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
