An Admirer of Books (The Muhammad Amalfi Mysteries Book 2)

Description

An Admirer of Books relates how a woman who has spent her life in bondage petitions a fellow servant for reading material and is directed to correspond with the young Italian orphan, now known as Muhammad Amalfi, a student at a law college in Algiers. When the woman kills her attacker in a Turkish bath, a manservant is accused of the murder. In his first court experience, Muhammad is defending the manservant when the Admirer of Books confesses to the murder herself. Muhammad surprises and appalls himself when he manipulates the truth to win freedom for both defendants and unite the woman with the Turkish family that may well have been her own. Or not.
