Shadow of an Eagle

After living away from New York for nine years, Charley and Helen Osborn finally decided to go back for a visit. They arrived late on a cold night, made good on their reservation at a pleasant family-type hotel right off Madison, and went to bed. Not once in all the weeks of planning had they mentioned what was uppermost in their thoughts: Charley’s brother Harry and his wife Martha.

Any mention of Harry made Helen furious and Charley very nervous. She still had raw wounds, and she prided herself on being a person not accidentally wounded. And Charley was a man who hated any kind of trouble and would avoid it at any cost to himself.
