A Captive in Algiers (#1)
An orphan boy ‘borrows’ a boat in Amalfi. What could possibly go wrong…?
The year before revolution breaks out in France, Ettore sees an opportunity to add coins to the strong boxes he keeps hidden near his hammock in the brothel where he’d lived since birth. But will he cheat fate in an open boat on the Tyrrhenian Sea the way he fleeces the tourists and pilgrims he guides in his native Amalfi?
Would the hard lessons he’d learned in the streets of Amalfi help him in his time of need? Or would the stormy seas and Algerian corsairs who snatched him for sale on the slave market teach him another lesson? While fighting to survive, young Ettore confronts his origins, beliefs, and his own shortcomings when a sacrifice is required to aid the friends he makes along the way.
An Admirer of Books (#2)
A corpse in a Turkish bath. Roving bands of the insane released from their asylums. Two trials. And a law student for the defense.
When an earthquake shakes the city and the debris-ridden alleyways of the Casbah resound with cries for help and sighs of grief, Muhammad steps in with legal aid for an enslaved manservant accused of murder and a maidservant he knows only as An Admirer of Books. Seeking justice in court, Muhammad turns to his knowledge of the law. But will the dangerous enemy he makes in court ruin Muhammad’s makeshift defense?
And what has the madman who lost his family at sea, and his mind in the notorious Arsenal of Toulon, to do with any of this?
