Now as she moves to Chicago, she finds employment as a producer with\u003cbr\u003eCatherine Marsh, a well known television journalist. Catherine and Mai become quick\u003cbr\u003efriends and Mai even meets the man of her dreams, the advertising photographer, Jack\u003cbr\u003eLargent. Catherine soon becomes obsessed with an intriguing story involving an Asian\u003cbr\u003edespot. She believes this ruler stole a treasure buried by a legendary ancient queen.\u003cbr\u003eTogether the three friends travel to Vietnam and pursue the story. The trip has a\u003cbr\u003edifferent meaning for Mai; she seeks to find revenge for the death of her parents. The\u003cbr\u003eefforts of both women take the group on an amazing adventure. No one could imagine\u003cbr\u003ewhat would come of their trip.\u003cbr\u003eValley of the Queen has all the elements to make this novel an outstanding story. The\u003cbr\u003eauthor weaves history, war, romance, strong character development, treasure hunt, and\u003cbr\u003eso much more together in a way which keeps the reader wanting more. From the\u003cbr\u003emoment the book begins, readers will find themselves on a roller coaster ride of\u003cbr\u003eanticipation and exhilaration as the story progresses. This is not a story that can be\u003cbr\u003epredicted and will leave the reader at the edge of their seat anxiously waiting to see\u003cbr\u003ewhat will happen next.\u003cbr\u003eAuthor William Diebold gives us something most readers crave, a compelling tale with\u003cbr\u003erelatable characters having depth and strong background stories. Each of the\u003cbr\u003echaracters have something which makes readers want to know more about them, and\u003cbr\u003enot just their stories together - but individually. It is very evident that Diebold spent time\u003cbr\u003edoing research on this subject before creating this stunning piece of fiction. While there\u003cbr\u003eare elements of history in the novel, it doesn't read like historical fiction or historical\u003cbr\u003ere-telling.\u003cbr\u003eIf you are a reader of thrilling tales, action, adventure, treasure hunting, romance, and\u003cbr\u003efamily history, then this is the book for you. It has so much content to it that makes it a\u003cbr\u003ecompelling novel. I would honestly recommend it to any book lover regardless of their\u003cbr\u003epreferred genre.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Diebold\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692860487\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692860489\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Debold Photography, Incorporated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 382\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.79d","brand":"William Diebold","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925705392383,"sku":"9780692860489","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_984c805e-a18f-44c4-a532-f83e4575af39.jpg?v=1681078863","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/valley-of-the-queen-william-diebold-9780692860489","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
