Suddenly it is almost 2023 and you awake with a new historical mystery in the works.
Why not, you think. Why did I not think of it before? I'll return to the place of my birth, in a different time.
Senegal, you fill my thoughts. I am loving the research and the return to the familiar.
I have called this novel The Signare of Gorée.
The setting is the 1840s on the French colonial island of Gorée and detective Maurice Leroux is a touch younger than he was in my gothic novel, Calista.
Summoned by the French navy to investigate a series of horrific murders, Maurice is soon haunted by the strange deaths on the island.
One...by one...
The undeserving must die.
