Mayhem in Manatas

by Roberta Rogow

 

Mayhem in Manatas

 

 

A hireling’s work is never done

If people would only stop trying to kill him, Halvar the Dane might finally manage to do what he was sent to the island of Manatas to do—get the fugitive Leon di Vicenza on a boat back to Al-Andalus.

And he didn’t intend to kill two people before breakfast in the process.

However, once again murder and intrigue immerse the calif’s Hireling in more trouble than he ever wanted; and before he learns who murdered the pawnbroker, the mystery will take enough twists and turns to make a good man dizzy.

Purchase the trade paperback from Amazon and Barnes and Noble as well as in ebook for Kindle andNOOK.
