Plot Summary of Wolf Whistle
"Five slave girls, all bearing the same tattoo have been murdered in Rome. Claudia Seferius, after a reckless escape from an irate money-lender, finds a young boy and takes him in--after all, she can't leave him on the street with a murderer loose. Her want-to-be lover, Marcus Cornelius Orbilio, tries to find the identity of a murderer and the truth about a family secret. Book 4 in the series."
Christine G., Resident Scholar
