Beschreibung:
Roberta Rogow got her start writing for Star Trek fanzines in the mid-1970's. She mostly writes historical fiction, although she sometimes twists the history. Her most recent stories take place on a Manhattan Island that was settled by Spanish Moors instead of by Dutch Traders: Last of the Mohegans meets Arabian Nights, with a Spanish accent. Roberta retired from a 37-year career as a children's librarian in 2008. Lorr and Disorder is a return to her SF fanfic roots. She now lives in New Jersey, and spends her time going to science fiction and mystery conventions when she is not writing mysteries or singing filk" (science fiction folk music).
Halvar Danske, known as the Hireling, has come to Manatas to determine whether there's fraud afoot in the Feria. His master, the Al-Andalusian Calif Don Felipe, has had a letter from an old friend named Leon di Vicenza claiming part of the calif's share of the Feria's revenues is being funneled into unauthorized pockets.
It's more than an omen when Halvar stumbles on a brutally murdered man his first morning in Manatas, and the day goes downhill from there. Is the corpse really Leon di Vincenza, or is someone staging a gigantic hoax? And what does Halvar's childhood love Dani Glick have to do with it?
