Lauren

A prequel taking place before the four full-length adventures.
"Eddie made his name as a US Special Forces commander in the First Gulf War, then following in his family's footsteps as a businessman in Paris, where he was born and had lived until he left for college in Texas.
Lauren tells the romantic back story of his years in college and his meeting Lauren Adams, who became his wife, moved to Paris with him, and was ultimately murdered by the people who thought he knew the whereabouts of an extremely valuable painting that had been stolen by the Nazis early in World War II.
It also introduces Jen Wetzmuller, whom he met and dallied with in Sarasota, Florida, on his way to Paris after college."
