A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Roberta Rogow wanted to tell stories ever since she could hold a pencil, and to sing before she could walk. After a brief career as professional chorister, coffee-house singer, and actress, she combined her love of literature with her love of music during a 37-year career as a children's librarian in New Jersey, where she could promote literacy and entertain youngsters.

In her spare time, Roberta wrote stories for fanzines incorporating historical characters into fictional situations. This led to paid publication., beginning with a story in the Shared Universe Anthology Merovingen Nights, edited by C.J. Cherryh, in 1987.

Since then, Roberta has written four mystery novels in which the Reverend. Mr. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) teams up with young Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle to solve crimes, and three set in post-Civil War New York City, where a team of waterfront lawyers take on cases that no one else will touch. Mischief in Manatas is the third book set in her re-imagined Manhattan.

Now her love of history has turned in another direction with the Saga of Halvar, set in an Alternate Universe on what is almost, but not quite, Manhattan Island.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

The end is in sight. Or not.

As the fall Feria comes to a close, Halvar is ready to snatch Leon di Vicenza from the fratery and head back to Al-Andalus.

No such luck.

An Afrikan merchant dies of poisoning, and there are enough suspects to populate half of Manatas. Then a Bretain student is also murdered, and the Calif's Hireling is once again up to his boot tops in mystery.
