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!!
