Mary Stewart's classic Moon-Spinners—an exhilarating
blend of murder, adventure and romance—is now back
in print
“Here is magical writing…A story of breathless excitement…seasoned with spirit
and humor.”– Los Angeles Times
CHICAGO: Known for her masterful grasp of setting and
for expertly mixing romantic suspense with Arthurian
romance, Mary Stewart has become a literary icon, penning
over a dozen best sellers. Her rich scenery and absorbing
storytelling are back in this new edition of The MoonSpinners (Chicago Review Press, April 2011).
A thrilling romantic mystery, The Moon-Spinners
follows Nicola Ferris, a beautiful young woman with a
willful streak and a curious nature. On vacation from her job
at the British Embassy in Athens, Nicola is savoring her
independence in Crete. While exploring its breathtaking nature, she impulsively follows an egret
flying out of the lemon grove—an action that changes future.
Due to her fateful detour, Nicola stumbles upon a wounded yet self-assured young Englishman,
Mark Langley. Langley is hiding out in the foothills of the White Mountains, with his guide, Lambis,
after recently witnessing a murder with his younger brother, Colin. Colin is now missing and Mark
- more -
fears the murderers will return for him as well. After nursing Mark back to health, Nicola does as she
is told and flees to the safety of her hotel in the village—but she does not heed Mark’s stern warnings
to forget about what happened. Instead the young sleuth investigates the shady owners of the hotel,
suspecting that they are somehow involved in the murder and Colin’s kidnapping. As she discovers
that the owners are secretly involved in smuggling stolen jewels, Nicola herself becomes a threat to the
operation. Her curiosity leads her into a dangerous plot that threatens her idyllic life.
In The Moon-Spinners, Stewart magically brews an intoxicating mix of suspense, romance
and exotic settings that will intrigue fans across all genres. Stewart seamlessly folds intricate
descriptions of the stunning surroundings without hindering the quick twists and turns in the plot.
Suspenseful and enthralling, The Moon-Spinners features dynamic characters caught in a
captivating predicament where peril awaits at every turn.
