Fern Michaels is a New York Times bestselling author known for her action-packed novels. This title is in the Sisterhood series, a group of women bound by friendship and a quest for justice. In this new novel, their male allies, the Men of the Sisterhood, have formed a top-secret organization of their own, with the same goal of helping the helpless and righting the wrongs of the world.
You can find this book in our library or reserve it in our catalog.
