THE town of Swan’s Knob seems a sleepy place. But the sweet life Wilma Swan has been living there with her husband Roy is about to be shaken up. First, Wilma’s granddaughter Star comes to stay, and Wilma and Roy must adjust to having a teenager around. Star struggles to fit into the close-knit community, but when she meets Josh, the gorgeous son of a neighbour, things start to look up. Star knows, though, it’s best to hide her first romance... Wilma is distracted by her suspicion that Roy is playing away. In tiny Swan’s Knob, everyone knows everyone else’s business, but Wilma doesn’t know where to turn. She braces herself for shocking revelations, but nothing could prepare her for what actually happens... Lynn York’s wry take on human nature enriches this delightful novel, where foibles are exposed but where love will certainly triumph. The Last Testament AN Iraqi boy loots an ancient clay tablet from a long-forgotten vault in the Baghdad Museum of Antiquities... At a rally for the signing of a historic deal between Israel and the Palestinians, an assassin pushes through the crowd towards the Israeli Prime Minister. Bodyguards shoot the man dead. But in his hand there is no gun: only a blood-stained note... A series of apparently random tit-for-tat killings follows as tensions boil over: Washington calls in star peace negotiator Maggie Costello. With her relationship in trouble and old sins to atone for, Maggie finds herself in an impossible situation, especially when she discovers the murders are not random. Someone is killing archaeologists and historians — those who know the buried secrets of the ancient past. Menaced on all sides by violent extremists, Costello is plunged into a mystery rooted in the last unsolved riddle of the Bible. The truth could end hostilities — or spark the war to end all wars...
