The Amber Room / Steve Berry / 519 pages
This book has an excellent afterword from the author detailing the historic significance of the Amber Room. It was a room constructed and decorated with thousands of pieces of amber in the Catherine Palace in Russia. It survived the Bolshevik Revolution but was lost sometime during World War II. Now a club calling itself Retrievers of Lost Antiquities is searching for the missing room. The group is composed of ruthless treasure hunters to whom murder is but a means to an end. Judge Rachel Cutler's family is significantly impacted by this search. This is an excellent read!!
