An angry man returns to the gorgeous Greek island of Rhodes. His mission? To retrieve a treasure hidden in tunnels under the Medieval City and to get revenge on the 'bitch' who betrayed him to the police. Due to their past unpleasant experiences with untrustworthy and violent men, six professional women living on the island have banded together as the 'Solo Sisters'. Which of these women is the mysterious stranger's former lover and intended victim? The reader is treated to a tension building saga of old hates and new crimes. The novel's plot is full of twists and turns just like the tunnels and an assortment of bizarre characters leap off the pages. The reader will be fascinated by the drama unfolding on the cobblestone pathways, through the narrow arched passages and in the hidden courtyards of the Medieval City. The tunnels and the possibility of hidden treasure are the focus of the characters throughout the book which end with an explosive confrontation in the underground's spooky burrows that wind under the centuries old walled city of Rhodes.

Murder in the Mist

By: Eleanor Clarke Yukic

The romantic holiday to southern France that Jim Collins has so carefully planned with his girlfriend, Teri Hunter, becomes complicated and bizarre from the moment they arrive in Paris. Jim had thought that three weeks in Provence would provide a suitable setting to convince Teri to marry him. A romantic vacation? What a joke that turns out to be. Jim is tall--over six feet and built like a wide receiver, muscular, lean and tough. His hair and eyes are dark brown, his complexion well-tanned. The bump on his long, aquiline nose bears evidence of a previous break. His mouth is full and sensuous. Teri loves the feel of his lips on hers and other sensitive parts of her anatomy. Teri is an attractive, shapely woman with a lean, athletic build--muscular, but definitely female. Her bright green eyes are in sharp contrast to her lustrous coal black hair and well-tanned skin. Jim is passionately in love with her. All along their carefully planned festive route through southern France, the couple keeps bumping unexpectedly into their fellow New York to Paris air travelers and becoming involved in odd accidents and bizarre incidents. A glamorous but frightened redhead, who traveled on their air flight from New York to Paris, on learning that Jim is a policeman, tries to solicit his help. Before she can explain the reasons for her noticeable terror, her companion, an arrogant, powerful US Senator, effectively isolates her from further contact or possible assistance, and she's unable to elude his tight surveillance. Hiking in the woods of the French National Park in Le Camargue--a vast natural area where thousands of flamingos, herons, ducks and other fowls live in the salty sea water marshes along with beavers, racoons, squirrels, possums and herds of wild horses and cows--they hear gunshots, and Jim discovers the body of Meredith Prescott, the mysterious redhead who was so desperately seeking his help. Jim is at the top of the local police list of suspects. Their vacation continues to be marred by a host of improbable episodes--a kidnapped child in Lyon, the grandstand underneath them collapsing at a bull fight, thugs shadowing them, a hostile effort to foirce their car off the road high above the French Grand Canyon and other attempts on their lives as they visit Avignon, Arles, St. Remy, Aix-en-Provence, St. Tropez, Stes. Maries de la Mer, Moustiers Ste. Marie, Gordes and Paris. The couple doesn't understand why they keep finding themselves in these dangerous situations. Teri is frightened and Jim is torn between the desire to protect her and consumed with a need to unravel the mysterious events. Two French government agents, friends of Jim's from the past, pitch in to help solve the international web of intrigue in which Jim and Teri have become innocently ensnarled. The exciting climax erupts in the shawdow of Notre Dame Cathedral on the decks of a dinner cruise down the Seine.

The Dark Side of Paradise

By: Eleanor Clarke Yukic

Because her mother refuses to believe that her stepfather, Alex Sorenson, is molesting her, eleven year old Jasmine Kameli has decided to run away. As the young girl sneaks through the vegetation surrounding Alex’s Maui mansion where she and her mother, Kinau, have lived for the past two years, she is startled to hear the motor of her stepfather’s car. She is terrified. Have they already discovered that she’s missing? NO! It turns out that there is a dead man in the trunk of Alex’s Mercedes, and Jasmine sees his lackey, Jeremy, toss the body into the waters of a nearby lagoon. Thus begins the story of the brave little girl’s struggle to reach her Tutu (aunt) Yalana’s house in Hana, a very difficult location to reach without an auto or an adult to accompany one on a tour bus or boat. The terrified Jasmine’s initial need is to get out of the area, far away from her stepfather’s Kihei residence. She has decided to go to Lahaina first where there is a well-known youth shelter, but there is no public transportation available until the next morning. She has cut her beautiful long coal black hair and hopes to pass as a boy. Crossing the highway to a rental condominium complex located on the lagoon, she discovers there are lounges on the patio of each apartment. She decides to curl up on one till morning since all the apartments are completely silent. Teri and Jim Collins are the residents in the apartment next to the patio where Jasmine has chosen to curl up. The couple is on vacation. Their plan is to rest, relax and visit all the sights. They do not wish to be involved in solving any mystery or crime which usually happens to them on their travels. Early in the morning, Teri discovers the sleeping child on their patio. Jim is suspicious of Jasmine’s explanation of a sick mother in the hospital. She says her name is Leonardo. Jasmine is terrified that Jim might contact the police for many of the officers are friends of Alex Sorenson. When there is a sudden disturbance in the lagoon’s waters–the recovery of a body which captivates the attention of the Collins, Jasmine escapes. She runs down the highway and catches the bus to Lahaina. The murdered man in the lagoon turns out to be Ed Nakamura , the county supervisor representing Molokai where Alex has several commercial ventures. Alex is very disturbed that Jasmine has run away and delegates Jeremy to search for her. His wife, Jasmine’s mother, has already phoned her sister in Hana, but Yalana has not seen nor heard from Jasmine. In the novel, we follow the child’s struggles to reach Hana and her aunt. Jim and Teri become involved in helping the two, Jasmine and Yalana, which results in a trip to Molokai, a frantic chase up the trail from the former leper colony and a hazardous boat trip to Oahu to contact the FBI. The women are placed in protective custody in a safe house on the far side of the island of Oahu. Jeremy, Alex’s employee, manages to kidnap Jasmine and return her to Maui where the explosive denouement takes place.
