fears the murderers will return for him as well. After nursing Mark back to health, Nicola does as she

is told and flees to the safety of her hotel in the village—but she does not heed Mark’s stern warnings

to forget about what happened. Instead the young sleuth investigates the shady owners of the hotel,

suspecting that they are somehow involved in the murder and Colin’s kidnapping. As she discovers

that the owners are secretly involved in smuggling stolen jewels, Nicola herself becomes a threat to the

operation. Her curiosity leads her into a dangerous plot that threatens her idyllic life.

In The Moon-Spinners, Stewart magically brews an intoxicating mix of suspense, romance

and exotic settings that will intrigue fans across all genres. Stewart seamlessly folds intricate

Suspenseful and enthralling, The Moon-Spinners features dynamic characters caught in a

captivating predicament where peril awaits at every turn.
