Black Salamander

by Marilyn Todd

  And before the first ray of morning sunshine, Claudia is being framed for murder…

  Wolf Whistle

  Had it not been for the pack of dogs nipping at her heels, Claudia Seferius would never have ventured into the mean backstreets of Rome. And thus would never have found the abandoned little boy called Jovi…

  With the Empire in crisis, it certainly wasn’t a safe time for either a rich young widow or a weeping child to be out after dark, for five slave girls have been brutally murdered by a killer who strikes only on Market Day.

  The victims are linked by the dragon tattoo they each wear on their arms—and which marks them out as the ‘Children of Arbil. But Arbil is no loving father—as Claudia is about to find out…

  For the upcoming Dream Boat

  When Claudia’s stepdaughter goes missing, she rightly assumes it’s another attention-seeking prank. But when the hoax has her bodyguard facing execution, it’s anything but funny. In an effort to prove his innocence, Claudia tracks the girl to a commune in the hills. And soon discovers that, far from being some cozy little retreat where spoiled brats can play at being grown-ups, this is a dangerous religious cult, where one man believes in taking ultimate control. Through death.
