A Captive in Algiers (The Muhammad Amalfi Mysteries Book 1)

Description

An edge-of-the-seat, I-can’t-wait-for-the-next-chapter type of historical novel, Captive in Algiers is an adventure that changes the life of a boy orphaned at birth and raised by his mother’s friends at a bordello in the coastal Italian town of Amalfi.

A successful tourist guide at a young age, Ettore’s rags-to-riches story is turned upside down when he’s swept to sea and captured by Algerian corsairs. Ettore’s breathless adventure immerses readers in the world of the Barbary Corsairs and presents them with surprising perspectives on one of history’s least understood times and places.

Throughout, the question remains: Would the hard lessons young Ettore learned in the streets of Amalfi and the steps of the great Cathedral of Saint Andrew help him survive ordeals at sea and in the slave market?
