The Sands of Time [Paperback] Sidney Sheldon

Four women flee a burning Spanish convent in the chaos of civil war — a pregnant novice who never wanted to be there, a mysterious beauty carrying stolen jewels, a former factory worker hiding a bloody secret, and a runaway movie star who thought God was her next big role. Sidney Sheldon throws them into the path of a Basque freedom fighter on the run, weaving their stories through danger, desire, and double-crosses across Spain. This is pure Sheldon: high stakes, sexual tension, constant twists, and characters who aren't remotely what they seem. The plotting is relentless — every chapter ends on a hook, every reveal leads to another question. If you like your thrillers slick, soapy, and impossible to put down at 2am, this is the escapism you're after. Perfect for fans of airport thrillers with just enough substance to justify the page count.
