This book contains two complete, interconnected romantic suspense novels by Nora Roberts--one of which is written under her pseudonym, J.D. Robb. In the first story Laine Tavish attempts to find the long-missing loot from a robbery carried off by her father. A handsome insurance investigator named Max Gannon aids her search. The second story takes places 50 years later and centers on a mystery involving Laine and Max`s granddaughter, Samantha Gannon. When Samantha`s housesitter is murdered, New York City police officer Eve Dallas and her husband Roake, become convinced that the murder is somehow related to the robbery pulled off by Samantha`s great-grandfather.
