The weatherman has nothing but bad news for us. Rain all day long. My poor baby bassets heard this and were so worried that they would not be able to go trick or treating. Silly children, rain never stopped me before. I want that candy, and unless there is a tornado, we are going trick or treating. Yes, I know I can buy my own candy, but what is the fun in that. Candy that was earned by dressing up and going door to door tastes so much better than anything bought. Unless it is from a bakery. Treats from the bakery are always better, and you can always get a nice cup of coffee with them as well. That’s good to. …..what was I talking about?

Laura Rahme

In this late medieval tale of mystery and the supernatural, Laura Rahme evokes a Venice long forgotten. From the dark sottoporticos of the Arsenal, to the wealthy mansions of Castello, and deep within the secret passages of the Ducal Palace, The Mascherari is an occult tale rich with history. Venezia, 1422. Doge Tommaso Mocenigo is on his death bed. An evil has come to Venice. An evil that will set the course for the future of La Serenissima. On the eve of Carnivale, five wealthy Venetian merchants set upon a mask maker in the ancient district of Santa Croce. They are led by a patrician of ruthless means named Giacomo Contarini. The following day, the Venice Republic’s security council, the most feared Council of Ten, summons the Florentine inquisitor, Antonio da Parma, to hold an inquest on a most baffling case. During a sumptuous banquet, four of the merchants, including Giacomo Contarini, have met a chilling death. Newly widowed and fresh from Florence, Antonio da Parma’s reputation precedes him. He is known for his susceptibility to the occult and is sternly warned that The Council of Ten want none of that. Yet in the throes of this macabre investigation, Antonio da Parma soon finds himself lured by his dreams and visions and by the mysterious silver pendant that he discovers on one of the dead merchants. Enter the dashing Esteban dell Valle, a formidable Dardi-trained swordmaster of Nubian origins. Esteban grieves his stolen inheritance and the death of his Catalan adopted father. He survives, mysteriously, through the influence of high ranking patricians. He never removes his mask and has sworn to reclaim his wealth. Noble Catarina Contarini has a sad tale to tell. Her husband’s death weighs upon her and so too, do the scandalous accusations that have been made against him. In her grief, she confides in Antonio da Parma and reveals her shocking secrets. But Catarina’s darkest secret concerns a witch; a Napoletana named Magdalena. Despite himself, Antonio da Parma is drawn ever closer to the magnetic Magdalena. He unveils the truth behind the merchants’ murders and comes face to face with a machination of monstrous evil. Through this fascinating Magdalena, an enchanter of admirals and merchants alike, Antonio begins to realize that his true quest is one he could never have imagined.

“Marijuana!” he burst out as soon as the others had moved away. “We move fifty tonnes of marijuana out of Australia!” I sat up with a jolt. “Good God, Nick!” I gasped. “Fifty tonnes! There’s not that much in the whole bloody country.” “I can get it,” he replied quietly. “Where do we move it to?” I asked. “Singapore.” “How?” He leaned back into the armchair, smiling like the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. It was weeks later that I was to question that grin, but not until after the killing had started, not until the waves had begun crashing into the stern of the ship, the salt spray covering the decks, the hull grinding, tearing itself upon the coral. Not until terror had taken hold!

In old west fashion, Stone is forced to deal him a little frontier justice. After placing the remaining prisoner in a ramshackle jail, he meets a beautiful Mexican girl, who ironically, has a personal vendetta against the killer.
