The Desiderata Gold (Millennia Mystery II)
It's a funny thing: as soon as I finish one book (The Desiderata Stone), the next one starts nagging at me. I suppose that is how I've kept writing these past few years, one or two (rather short) novels a year. Who would ever have thought that possible? Not Me!
Another funny thing: I always start on a new book by writing the blurb. Dear reader, when I start I don't know more than you do when you read the blurb! And to prove it, here is (more or less) what will be on the back-cover of my next book: The Desiderata Gold.
“In 1992, Daisy Hayes, going on 70, had inherited Bottomleigh House and was struggling to keep it afloat financially. Then one day she got a letter from Rome, from an archaeologist asking for her help to make sense of a mysterious message from antiquity that had just been uncovered. Time to hook up again with Morag, her deaf friend from the ‘project’ in 1964, and to go back to the Eternal City.
“In AD 64, after Feli’s death, Desiderata had scores to settle and a soulmate to bury. Her new friends the Christians gave her sanctuary, but her relationship with them was a bit strained. Soon the Community of the Saints and their blind protégée had to part company. Eventually, assisted by her uncle Balbus, ex-centurion of the X Fretensis legion, she found a path out of her troubles, and helped him search for a stolen treasure.
“So, ages on, Daisy went looking for a gold cache from antiquity, hoping to solve a new mystery, and even more to reconnect with Desi, her soulmate from ancient Rome.”
