Journalist
Katherine Nikulasson's father, Gustav, noted historian and
archaeologist, has been killed in a plane crash. Some of
his papers, now missing, lead Katherine to question the
veracity of the accident report, and the loyalty of her
father's longtime friend, Sheppard Wilde.
A search
for the truth takes Katherine to Wilde's estate in England
where she uncovers a conspiracy that shakes her
to the core. Unaware she has now become a pawn in that conspiracy,
an unwitting Katherine is kidnapped
by Enrique Quisette, leader of an art smuggling syndicate,
a man who will destroy anyone who stands in the way of what
he wants.
Wilde knows what Quisette wants. And he knows he must find
Katherine before she's of no further use to Quisette. Using
every resource, from the lush underworld of smuggling to the
grimy back streets of Athens, Wilde begins a race against
time. It is not his only challenge.
For three powerful
people, each risking his life, once signed an extraordinary
agreement. Its intent: Protect the heritage
of an ancient people, one of the world's richest remaining
treasures. Now Wilde must not only rescue Katherine, but uphold
the secret he has sworn to protect in The
Gold Covenant.

"THE
GOLD COVENANT is a fast-paced thriller
in which readers like the beleaguered heroine will wonder
who is friend and who is foe. The competitors with the exception
of the heroine and to a degree Wilde will do anything including
kidnapping and murder to obtain the ultimate treasure. Though
somewhat convoluted as the story line races from New York
to England to Athens and beyond, fans of exhilarating action-packed
thrillers will hitch a ride on Roberta Clark’s enthralling
tale".

"The
Gold Covenant is a fast moving adventure that provides plenty of twists
and turns along the way. Katherine is whisked

to her before time runs. Ms. Clark weaves an intriguing tale
for her characters in this wonderfully detailed journey. The
action will keep readers on the edge of their seats, and the
mystery of what awaits Katherine makes this book a thrill
ride that’s riveting to the end."
