The Signare of Gorée - my new historical mystery

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.
