Dance Quartet

The Rhythms in Crime Dance Quartet are four independent novels set in 1920’s Spain, Cuba, and Argentina. Each linked by the iconic music and dance of the people. Here you can explore the research background to the first two books. To give you a taste of what you will encounter: A Fatal Rhythm is infused with the flamenco and the tortured souls of the Gypsies living in the Sacromonte caves in Andalusia. Dancing with Death pulses to the beat of the rumba danced on hot Havana nights, rum-running, gangsters, and revolution. Visit my current research to discover how I am setting about growing the world of book three in the Rhythms in Crime Dance Quartet.
