The Proprietor's Daughter (The Eagles Saga Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.0 out of 5 stars 32 ratings

From the author of Dreams of Gold and Eagles comes a story of love, heartbreak, vengeance and political intrigue set against the backdrop of 1970s London.

Katherine Kassler has it all, a loving husband, two small children and a reputation as a crusading journalist for London’s Daily Eagle, the newspaper owned by her father. But when a hideous riding accident robs Katherine of her husband, her perfect world is shattered.

Lifelines are thrown to Katherine from unexpected sources. John Saxon, a handsome, charming real-estate magnate once pilloried by Katherine in the Eagle, resurfaces to help her through the ordeal. Then Raymond Barnhill, a brash London-based American journalist, takes an ever-increasing interest in her life. And finally, a reporting assignment on violence among young soccer fans takes Katherine on a frightening journey into ambition and corruption at the highest levels, and treachery that threatens the nation’s welfare.

How Katherine resolves her personal dilemmas and exposes those who would destroy the people and values she cherishes provides the climax to this satisfying and unforgettable story.

Lewis Orde is the author of eight previous novels, including the highly acclaimed Eagles, Munich 10, Heritage, and The Lion’s Way. Born in Great Britain, he now makes his home in Durham, North Carolina.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The Eagles family saga ponderously continues with the dizzying accomplishments of daughter Katherine. At 26, she is a mother of two, the wife of a German millionaire and a brilliant columnist for her father's newspaper, the Eagle. Even after her husband's suicide, Katherine continues her crusade of exposing evil via her timely columns. Helped by real-estate tycoon John Saxon she tracks down landlords who harass their tenants and, at great personal risk, attempts to stifle the rhetoric of the neo-Nazi British Patriotic Society. Saxon's top-level connections with both the developers and the Neo-Nazis occasionally arouse Katherine's suspicions, but since these same connections provide her with information, she casts doubts aside. When nudged by a fellow reporter, however, she begins to look more closely at Saxon's affairs, which, of course, do not bear scrutiny. Filled though it is with corruption and murder, with high finance and high fashion, the book never takes off. Orde (The Lion's Way, Heritage) describes rather than evokes, provides the requisite number of sex scenes, records Katherine's love for husband and children, supplies her with designer gowns and foreign cars, but never turns her into a woman.

    I enjoyed book 1 and 2. Love generational in depth stories. The characters were very real as I could just picture them in my mind. It also seems to me that the events and political issues are very much like today. Lewis Orde was able to see into the future and it was very real.

    I had a hardcover of the book preceding this one, "Eagles". I'd had it for a very long time, and enjoyed it so I was delighted to see there was a sequel. It was equally enjoyable and held my attention.
  • Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2018
    At the start of Katherine’s perfect silver spoon story I didn’t think I was going to like it. However after the first tragedy, her life picked up speed and gained traction. Still, wealth does make everything work out smoother in the end.
