Heart of Courage

December 15, 2008
Lindsey Graham isunusual among women in London in 1944. She is an heiress and the editor of the womens section of the newspaper and a gossip columnist. Shehas no intention of marrying right away and, instead, enjoys the small freedoms she can take while her parents travel the continent. Thor Draugr works at the paper his brothers wife owns, trying to make his fortune in a landso strange compared to his isolated, Nordic island home. Thor and Lindsey are acutely aware of each other and deal with it in an antagonistic manner until Lindseys brother is questioned about the serial murders of prostitutes. Lindsey is determined to find the real killer, and Thor cant turn down his sister-in-laws request to watch out for her. They come to admire each other, but so many obstacles are in their way. Martins romantic and intriguing romance-mystery isa fitting end to the engaging Hearttrilogy (Heartless, 2001; Heart of Fire, 2008).(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2008, American Library Association.)
