The Mask of Time Book

When journalist Anna Kelly's mother, Kate is attacked and left in a coma, Anna searches the wreckage of Kate's Vail, Colorado, apartment for the reason behind the savage act. Kat had become obsessed with her hunt for an American World War II POW who may or may not have survived the Nazi camps. And now Kate's daughter finds tantalizing clues to decades-old secret.

Anna will learn from the first time about her mother's birth in wartime Italy to brave young Candida Cipriani, and Candida's two lovers--and she will take up Kate's search for the one who may yet live. But Anna is not alone in her quest. Philip Westward, a man of vast wealth, is as obsessed as Kate, but with a different and very private mission of his own.

Anna is not sure she can trust Philip, but she cannot resiste him any more than she can resist learning the dangerous truth behind the story of a lifetime--the story of her own life.

A spellbinding and provocative tour de force, THE MAST OF TIME will haunt you long after its final stunning revelation.

Journalist Anna Kelly, searching her mother's trashed condo, finds clues to a mystery that plunges her into a firestorm of passion, violence and betrayal, now rekindled after 50 years. Anna's journey takes her from the chaos of wartime Europe to a Soviet gulag and to Philip Westward, a man of vast and unexplained wealth. From the author of The Original Sin.
