HIGH STAKES : BOOK 6 IN THE KNIGHT/DEVLIN SERIES
 
An excursion to Romania to retrieve an authentic Stradivarius violin commits Michael Knight and Lex Devlin to a quest for a treasure that had been secreted during the fifteenth century by the infamous Romanian ruler, Vlad Dracula, whose historic tyranny led to the fabrication of the myth of vampirism. Michael and Lex find themselves in the midst of a deadly three-way conflict between Russian, Chinese, and Romanian gangs centered in Boston. The magnet for violence is the Stradivarius violin, which holds the code to the location of the treasure.
