ACE COLLINS
FREE FALL INTO LITERATURE
In 1944, Helen Meeker accepts a seemingly simple case of proving the innocence of a man accused of strangling his wife only to have it explode into a decades-old mystery involving hundreds of women, all born on June 18, 1901. As Meeker, Teresa Bryant, and Napoleon Lancelot search for clues in the U.S, Great Britian, and Europe, they discover Stalin wants these women dead while Hitler needs them alive. In the meantime, a man working on the Manhattan Project is missing, and Meeker clashes with J. Edgar Hoover during a race to find the renowned scientist and keep the plans for the atomic bomb out of enemy hands.
In an adventure beginning in Paris, then taking the team from Chicago to Washington, Kansas, London, and behind enemy lines in Europe, before ending in Canada, Meeker and her associates battle the FBI, team with the Royal Mounted Police, are secretly given LSD, jump from an airplane, are ambushed in alleys, taken on a U-Boat, and blow up a train, before unravelling the motivation driving the deadly twin mysteries. No Greater Gift is a heart pounding, mind blending story where one of the beloved heroes pays the ultimate price and dies on an operating table.
