[LM_NET] BOOK: the 7th knot by Karr

[Frederick Muller <mullinator52@YAHOO.COM>]

Karr, Kathleen. _The 7th knot._Marshall Cavendish, 2003 [0-7614-5135-8]
  It is the summer of 1896 and troublesome Wick and Miles are taken with their very 
rich Uncle to purchase paintings in Europe.  His uncle brings along an art expert.  
It isn't long that the two brothers discover the art expert is not just an art 
expert.  All three are wound up an an adventure trying to foil the plans of an evil 
German society to take over the world.  The 148 page book reads like a 
turn-of-the-century James Bond adventure.  While the society in the book is loosely 
based on a historical society, the society feels very much like the start of the 
Nazi party before World War II.  The only problem I have with the book is that 
readers may try to connect pre-World War II times with this group which existed 
before World War I.  Besides that, it is a great read.
