Imagined dangers become very real as a quest for intrigue leads to a disturbing discovery. . . . Fifteen-year-old Constantine Rea is bored with life in Vienna Austria, since it seems nothing that exciting ever happens there. But then an acquaintance tells Con that the old city has always been a center of international espionage. In fact, one out of ten adults living in Vienna is a spy! Con knows at least ten adults . . . but could one be a spy? Con and his best friend, Hannah, devise a plan to unmask the identity of the spy in their midst, but their plan is put on hold when Con and his mother make a trip to visit their old landlord, Herr Donner. While there, Con receives a curious gold object called a mezuzah, a symbol of Jewish faith. Then Donner has a chance to rethink the gift, and he angrily demands its return-but Con refuses. What is so important about the mezuzah, and why did Donner have it in the first place?

The sabotage runs far deeper than they expected. . . . Leaving behind Vienna, Austria, for the wilds of Wyoming, Constantine Rea is looking forward to spending summer vacation with his grandparents and six girl cousins on the sprawling family ranch. But he arrives to find all is not well. Grandpa Walker has fallen ill, and his recovery is hindered by troubles at the ranch: cut fences, poisoned cattle, trumped-up charges of environmental abuse, and more. Facing financial ruin, the Walkers may lose the ranch, which has been in their family for generations. Could this be Con's last summer in Wyoming? Con and his cousins devise a scheme to find the cause of all the problems, but the long list of suspects includes a radical environmental group called Mother Earth, some local Native Americans, a neighbor who has always been jealous of the Walker's success-and a wealthy movie star who is poised to swoop in and "take the ranch off their hands." Can the cousins expose the truth before it's too late?

The Sagebrush Rebellion

It's a deadly game . . . and every move could be their last! As Constantine Rea and his best friend, Hannah, sit across a chessboard from each other, a rickety train takes them from their Vienna home to a dream ski vacation in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania. There, the sixteen-year-olds will be staying in style with Hannah's uncle-the American ambassador! But Con's VIP visions melt away when he opens a letter from his elderly friend Frau Maria Rozstoski describing a violent mystery from her Romanian youth and asking a rare favor: Could Con look into it on his vacation? This seemingly simple request leads Con and Hannah straight into the dark corners of Romania's anti-Jewish past, from a terrifying neo-Nazi rally to World War II secrets of the brutal Iron Guard. The closer they get to the truth, the greater the risk. And why does their search keep coming back to an orphan named Poppy?

Checkmate in the Carpathians (Passport to Danger #3)

When a young Roma girl is snatched off the street in a remote village in Romania, she is in danger of becoming just one of the thousands of faceless and forgotten victims of the modern-day sex-slave trade in Eastern Europe. But her best friend does not forget her. Or remain silent. On the same day that Nadia Iovan is abducted, thousands of miles and many time zones away in a mundane Department of Motor Vehicles Bureau outside Washington D.C., a successful radio talk show host, Eric Kissane, makes an empty gesture to impress a stranger while renewing his driving license. When Kissane checks yes by 'organ donor' he sets in motion the unraveling of family secrets and the eventual downfall of the Christian media giant (WOWL, Inc.) he married into to further his career. Hours later Kissane dies in a fiery car crash, but the secret he carries in his bloodstream does not follow him to the grave. Kissane's secret leads to blackmail. And blackmail leads to a cover-up, which in a typical Washington outcome, is more dangerous than the crime. Convinced that the Christian Right can and must save the nation from a spreading liberal agenda, Ronald Lorten is in the midst of launching a presidential campaign with his loyal evangelical base when he is confronted by beautiful blackmailer. Aware that the scandal she threatens could ruin the family business and end his political career, Lorten succumbs to her demands and creates a humanitarian fundraising campaign for victims of human trafficking in Eastern Europe in order to hide the blackmail payments. In the midst of his self-serving schemes, Donald Lorten stops for a brief moment when he is face-to-face with a real victim, Nadia Iovan, and in one small redemptive act does the right thing for the right reason. Unknown to Ronald Lorten, the wheels of justice had already been set in motion against WOWL on another front. A disgruntled donor, who recognized financial malfeasance in the company, alerted the IRS. A liberal, and very ambitious IRS agent (Enoch Arnheim), sees the case as an opportunity to further his own career and bring down the right-wing Christian media giant. While pursuing the case, Agent Arnheim meets Kissane's widow and estranged sister of Ronald Lorten. While they enjoy each other from the first meeting, Enoch and Rachel at cross purposes from the outset, hers to hide a secret and his to find and expose it. In the end, their relationship will complicate the choices they must make and the final outcome in the case of -- the IRS v WOWL, Inc.
