Formerly a high-society darling, Ethan thinks the worst thing he’ll have to contend with over the holidays is the disapproval of his upper-crust parents, but when things go awry on his job protecting the priceless Nobility Diamond, more than just his feelings are put into jeopardy! Now it’s up to his husband Henry (and their adorable cat, Skippy) to put his P.I. skills to good use and clear Ethan’s name. Both men will have to step out of their comfort zones and into their husbands’ shoes to solve the case!

Emil Zátopek is arguably the greatest Olympic champion of all time. The Czech runner’s three gold medals at the 1952 Helsinki Summer Olympics, for the 5,000 meter, 10,000 meter, and marathon is an achievement that has never been matched. His success as a runner made him a national hero, but as a public figure, outspoken and unafraid to take a stand, he was equally impressive. Even before the Helsinki Games, Zátopek had scored a remarkable victory, successfully pressuring the Communist regime to allow his colleague Stanislav Jungwirth, who until then had been excluded on political grounds, to compete. In Zátopek, Jan Novák and Jaromír 99 trace the extraordinary life and times of the great Olympian, from his first meeting with Dana, the love of his life, to the victories that would ensure his lasting legacy.
