The Treskel

About the Book

Katya Becker, an Austrian-American fashion designer and the intrepid heroine of The Sceptre and The Labyrinth, returns to Europe in the spring of 1938 despite the danger of contacts with Benito Mussolini and his guest Adolf Hitler. She aids in the escape of a scientist from fascist Italy. In Ireland she meets two fascinating men; at home, she is threatened by German Nazis before being rescued by the man she wants for a life partner. Two flashbacks to ancient Europe foreshadow the events of 1938 Italy and reveal the treskel, a symbol representing feminine strength, as uniting past and present.
