The Morning Star

A secret organization known only to a few, pulls together two very different families…one of notable aristocrats from America’s highest enclaves, the other a family torn apart by murder and despair. The group is tasked with hiding a vessel…a remarkably sophisticated warship built by the Nazis during World War II. But the organization, known ironically as the Morning Star, ties together more than just two families…it eventually ignites the interest of the father of the Sons of Jacob, Edward Morningstar. Captivated by the promise of global power, he begins to obsess over the warship, unaware that the group that is hiding it consists almost entirely of his enemies. He is also unaware that there is another man who is desperately seeking the vessel, Germany’s Vice-chancellor, Adolf Mueller. Like Morningstar, he is certain that his destiny involves a takeover of the world, and, by coveting the warship, has suddenly become Morningstar’s foremost competitor. “Ruling the world is my destiny!” cries Morningstar, then sets out to destroy Mueller, and to rein in the mystical vessel for himself.
“The Morning Star” pulls together Henderson, Maddi, and Morningstar in a game of deadly intrigue that surpasses any they have played thus far. All the while, the dreaded Cobra continues his tormenting of Henderson, Hank, and Hank’s only son, Roger. While Cobra works to tangle them all in his web, Maddi does her best to save them, and eventually finds herself caught up not only in Cobra’s evil plot, but in the drama of the Morning Star, as well. What she doesn’t see is that she – and the magical Lili - are the common denominators that tie together the two vastly disparate worlds.

Dr. Jill Vosler is a family physician whose medical studies at Ohio University took her abroad to the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and on to extensive travel throughout the UK and Europe, allowing her to flavor her novels with people and places far different from her native Ohio. Consulting with her father, who was her partner in medical practice and the county coroner, inspired many of the macabre elements prevalent in her writing.
