Litany Of Sorrows

Karl von Richter, a handsome young German, is injured while skiing in the Italian Alps and is nursed to health by attractive Katrina Amorino. They fall in love, and she moves to his home on Lake Constance, unaware that Germany is on the brink of war. As she arrives, Karl enters the SS Officer Training School and is radicalized by Nazi propaganda. She waits patiently but learns he is implementing Hitler's Final Solution to eliminate Jews and other deplorables.

When WWII ends, Karl leaves Berlin and heads home, but finds his parents dead and Katrina missing. His conscience reawakens as he begins his search for Katrina, who is hiding and agonizing over her impetuous decisions - a litany of sorrows that will haunt her for decades to come.

Will Katrina’s and Karl’s conflict be resolved? What becomes of Katrina’s relationship with Luca? Will Katrina ever find her son?

Search and Deception

Brian O’Sullivan, an art history professor, is thrust into a maze of lies, deception, and corruption as he searches for his mother, Katrina, after finding letters sent by her 60 years earlier. Filled with emotion, he hopes she is still alive, but before he can begin, he’s called to Amsterdam by his Interpol team to help solve a WWII art theft mystery.

Through a twist of fate, Brian follows a path of anguish, intrigue, and life-threatening danger when the team analyzes pages in a Nazi officer’s diary for clues and determines the art may be hidden in southern Spain.

Will the Interpol team find the stolen art? Will Brian find his mother, Katrina? What becomes of Brian when his past and present collide in a conflict with a previously unknown stepbrother who wants to kill him? How does Grace handle her past? What becomes of Nina?

However, when an unexpected clue reveals the stolen bounty may be in Morocco, Brian and his team find themselves racing against Russians to locate the missing treasure. Complicating matters are Brian’s feelings about his wife’s sudden death, another theft, and the recent discovery of the DiBotticino family legend. Can Nina solve the mystery? Do the sinister Russians win the race? Can Brian resolve his swirling emotions? Will Brian and Nina’s relationship be strengthened after startling revelations? Does stress bring it to a crashing end?
