“ A SPELLBINDING STORY OF ROMANCE, RIFFS AND REVENGE!” A murder is committed at a chic cocktail party on the cliffs of Capri in 1939. Among the suspects are Noel Coward, Cole Porter, Mussolini’s son-in-law, Adolf Hitler’s art dealer, Gracie Fields, Barbara Hutton and others. To learn the story of this revenge killing, we then travel back to 1920’s Algeria and a corrupt French Foreign Legion compound. Two steamy forbidden love affairs, a vicious desert battle, and a Gay adventure out of the Arabian Nights play key roles in untangling this mystery. This fast-paced thriller is as exotic as its name and as romantic. From a chewing gum empire in Chicago to Jean Cocteau’s Paris, the reader will be enthralled by every chapter. “D.H. Gutzman’s LGBTQ historic fiction fits the bill. Each is a fast-paced, page turner framed in detailed and sensory prose.” - Paul Masterson, Shepherd Express Newspapers
