(Nov.About the Book This author delivers pure, undiluted excitement.-Jayne Ann Krentz Romantic suspense is her true forte.-Minneapolis Star-Tribune Elizabeth Lowells keen ear for dialogue and intuitive characterizations consistently place her a cut above most writers in this genre.-Charlotte News and Observer Perennial New York Times bestselling author Elizabeth Lowell boldly puts the romance back into romantic suspense with Beautiful Sacrifice-a story of passion and intrigue centered around the ancient Mayan prediction of the apocalyptic end of everything. Readers will be taken by this story about how friendship can defy any generation gap and how it’s never too late to find a new purpose in life. Berg’s novel is as comforting as Lucille’s fresh-baked cookies, with plenty of charm and memorable characters.

Together with Lucille, who has recently faced her own tragic loss, the three form something like a family. The two form a bond, and when Maddy gets pregnant with her ex-boyfriend’s baby, she seeks Arthur’s help.

Then he meets Maddy, a troubled teen who is bullied at school and misunderstood by her father at home, and who has taken to hanging out at the cemetery to be by herself. The only other constants in his life are taking care of his cat and keeping his distance from his nosy neighbor, Lucille. Since his wife’s death, the best part of his daily routine is visiting the cemetery to eat lunch at her grave. Arthur, the title character of the latest from Berg ( Talk Before Sleep), does not enjoy living alone.
