About this book
A second collection of mystery and detective fiction, the volume brings together stories from different nations for readers drawn to varied kinds of suspense. When Donna Isabella hears that a spirit walks the broken stairs of a castle watchtower, she asks where a woman fell, turning a ghost story toward a physical clue. In a Persian tale, a goldsmith and a painter promise to protect each other’s interests before their hosts at a convent place their trust in them.
