    Sara-Moderator - Lillian Stewart Carl is giving away one hardcover copy of TIME ENOUGH TO DIE. Parapsychologist Matilda Gray already knows that looking too closely into the illegal antiquities trade can be dangerous-- even before she's assigned to work with Scotland Yard's Gareth March to solve the murder of a woman who knew too much about stolen antiquities. But perhaps a greater treasure than Celtic gold is a relationship appearing when neither Gareth nor Matilda expect it, if they can only let down their guards and learn to trust.They do, after all, agree on one thing: the risk of death makes life and love all the sweeter. There's always time enough to die.
    OL - get rid of it
