The amber diary

He sees their faces in his mind--faces he's corrupted, betrayed, assassinated, murdered. He feels no emotion in what he does, nor judge those who hire him. But the political climate is changing. He thinks about his own desire, a need he's kept buried inside, a want so great it burns like an ulcer, an obsession created when he stood inside a room made of amber. Today, in 1989, he understands many compete to recover the lost masterpiece. He knows the answer. It is concealed in a dead girl's diary. The time has come for him to find it. The Amber Diary, by author J. L. Gustafson, is a fictional account of one man's determination to possess the fabled Amber Room.
