It is 1980 and Bonnie Benson, twenty-seven, is annoyed when her photojournalist, identical twin brother, Kenny Benson, disrupts her vacation plans by insisting she join him in Morocco. Upon arriving, Bonnie is shocked by Kenny's discovery-World War II photographs of their parents pinned to a wall in a small bar in Tangier. So begins their exciting and dangerous quest to learn about their dead parents' past. Because their parents died in Argentina a little over a year ago in a private plane crash. And they had mysteriously filed an amended flight plan-destination Morocco. Soon the twins' quest takes them to Marrakesh but not before Bonnie meets Roger Reveson, a handsome widower, who will join them in their quest. Soon their lives are threatened by others who want to know why they are in Morocco. Amid the danger and suspense, Bonnie and Roger fall in love. At the end of the book, the past and the present collide in a perilous fashion.

Who can tell?"e; The trilogy dives headlong into a compelling family saga as fourteen year-old Lizzy Abercrombie's mother dies in a tragic accident on the full moon. But was it really an accident? Lizzy discovers that her death may be linked to a mysterious family curse. Determined to find the truth, her quest takes her to the Temple of the Moon in India, where she uncovers the terrible past of her ancestor George Abercrombie. But even as she discovers that the curse was just an old wives' tale, the real truth puts her in mortal danger from a succession of ruthless enemies, culminating in a showdown at OneWorld, a sinister spiritual theme park in the desert of Almeria in southern Spain."e;Hugely enjoyable"e;, "e;most entertaining and enlightening"e;, "e;educational"e;, and "e;excellent"e;.
