In Delilah Dirk and the King's Shilling, Delilah and Selim made a powerful enemy in Major Jason Merrick, who planned to sell the United Kingdom to the French. Humiliated, Merrick withdrew to France and awaits his chance to avenge himself. An opportunity soon presents itself when he discovers the tales of the female daredevil and her companion, as documented by a Dutchman journalist.
Following her adventures in Europe, Delilah headed back to the Middle East and quickly becomes involved in a quest to discover the third pillar of Hercules, a fabled city built somewhere around the Mediterranean that could provide command of this once Roman sea to the first country to claim it. Aided by able and rational Selim, and by a self-promoting journalist, Delilah and her companions criss-cross the Mediterranean world in search of hints that will reveal the location of this secret city.
Archaeological investigations can be dangerous, however, and the closer they get to the city, the closer they get to Merrick ...
Fans of Indiana Jones and adventure capers will love this third book in the Delilah series.
