The Talisman
by Lynda La Plante
For each new generation, The Talisman is the key to a fortune.Edward
- who inherits his father's looks . . . and his curse. Alex, his brother
- whose quest for revenge will fuel an empire built on corruption. And
Evelyne and Juliana, the fourth generation - still haunted by the
family's past. Freedom Stubbs should, as Gypsy tradition dictates,
have been buried with the gold necklace that he earned in the
Heavyweight Championships. Instead, the family kept it, ready to sell
should they fall on hard times. But Freedom's spirit is restless while
his talisman is not buried with him in his grave. From the miseries
of the war years to the glamorous present, in London, America and South
Africa, Lynda La Plante continues the bestselling saga that began with
The Legacy. The passionate story of a family's lives and fortunes, and the curse that forged their names.
