Search the Shadows - by Barbara Michaels (Paperback)

About the Book

Abandoning her carefully planned future, Haskell Maloney seeks the truth behind her past: Who is her real father? Was her mother's fatal car crash really an accident? Her search leads her to the study of Egyptology, where watching from the shadows of a cold museum, a ruthless killer waits to strike.

Book Synopsis

Haskell Maloney was cruelly orphaned when she was just a baby. Now, twenty-two years later, she receives confirmation of the bitter truth she always suspected: the fallen war hero whose name she shares was not her father. Her quest for answers--and a personal history--brings Haskell to the famed Oriental Institute in Chicago, a city in which her mother lived and thrived before her strange, untimely death. But by rummaging around in the darkness, Haskell's exposing much more than she bargained for. And now she's racing against the clock to discover who she really is . . . and why someone is suddenly determined to kill her.
