It was a simple job—find the naive outlander’s lost journal, lost during a liaison with a local “joyboy”. It sounded liked her client was even more worried about the way he lost his book than he was about the book.
But then the joyboy winds up dead, followed shortly thereafter by her client; and it’s clear she’s not the only one who wants that missing book. Worse, whoever it is, is prepared to kill her to make sure she doesn’t find it.
Pola’s a loner, but this time it’s clear she needs help—if only to make sure no one’s sneaking up behind her with murderous intent.

Her previous series have taken readers to Victorian London, Gilded Age New York City, and an alternate Manhattan settled by Spanish Moors instead of Dutch traders.
Roberta spent 37 years as a children's librarian in New Jersey. She retired in 2008.and now spends her time going to science fiction and mystery conventions when she is not writing mysteries or singing filk (speculative fiction-themed folk music).
