Main
Liners: Legacy of Deceit
by
Barbara K. Clement
Although Emmons
Harrison Whitley did not anticipate when he would die, he had to
know his funeral would be a social event for those on the Main
Line. Although publicity typically holds a stigma with Main
Liners, this particular funeral was a veritable "who's who" in the
social network connecting the old affluent families of this
suburban Philadelphia region. What this Main Line patriarch did
not realize was that his last wishes would lead to the discovery
of long-buried secrets causing family and friends to question who
literally is who. A robbery of Whitley's safe shortly after his
death sets in motion the unraveling of a tangle of scandalous
secrets including murder, robbery, affairs, and lies. Could the
truth break apart this family when on the Main Line, family is
everything?

Main Liners:
The Blue Fahua
by
Barbara K. Clement
In
this, the second novel in her Main Line mystery series, Barbara K.
Clement invites readers to venture beyond the Main Line to some of
the world’s most exotic locales. From the punishing tundra of
Siberia to the enchanting and romantic environs of Paris, two
exceptional women will be tested mentally, physically, and
morally…as both women revisit their pasts in an effort to find
their way home.
Jessica Rawlins
returns to confront the ghosts of a past long hidden and leave her
comfortable suburban lifestyle behind. Reluctant at first to
re-enter a clandestine existence, she soon realizes how much of
herself has been buried with the past–essentially all that makes
her feel intelligent, resilient, and passionate.
Meanwhile,
socialite Charlotte Fallowell also wrestles with her past and
current identities. Forced to face secrets buried deep within the
generations of her family, Charlotte learns that even her bucolic
Main Line sanctuary cannot protect her from the hazards hidden in
her Russian heritage. Facing the latest rumors and gossip about
her husband and family at a social meeting, she alone is left to
find the answers that will lead out of danger and back to safety.
After venturing so
far into the world and the past, can they return to their Main
Line lives?
