Dorothea in the Mirror

A Jill Szekely Mystery

By: Lois Wells Santalo,Wells Santalo Lois Wells Santalo

Immigrants in flight from Hitler, the Szekelys were not part of the huddled masses so often associated with Ellis Island. They were highly educated people; their gifted son Zoltan had been a concert pianist since the age of eight, he had performed with symphony orchestras and entertained the troops in India and Asia during World War II. It was hard to think of them in connection with a murder. Yet by a twist of fate, they find themselves involved and their son stands accused of murder. It seems the ultimate irony that refugee Jewish pianist Zoltan Szekely is arrested for the murder of Dorothea Granger. Has he escaped Hitler's deadly assault only to become enmeshed in the American legal system? The police believe that they have found their murderer; they feel they have incontrovertible evidence of Zoltan's guilt. Only his estranged wife, Jill, is in a position to pursue an investigation that might prove his innocence. But Jill, disillusioned after years of struggling to make their marriage work, has left Zoltan. Will she ultimately come through for him and be able to prove his innocence?

Oops, I Lost My Sense of Humor

By: Lois M. Santalo,Lois Wells Santalo

The doctor said, "Don't try it—you could die on the operating table." A scary thought, but the alternative was worse—waiting a few months for certain death. The author decides to go with the riskier option, which offers hope for the future. In this poignant true story, a woman reflects on her life, loves, family and marriage as she comes to terms with her mortality. "This memior shows us older folks as we really are rather than as people perceive us."—Virginia Welsh, teacher "MAGNIFICENT! The word-flow is poetry. I wonder if there's an editor with the courage to publish it?"—Howard Fisher, author of Salome

Night of the Humpbacked Moon

A Jill Szekely Mystery

By: Lois Wells Santalo

When Jill Szekely arrives in San Diego to begin a temporary job as director of the EsCa, a crisis house for women, her first day is anything but normal. A strange man claiming to be an artist seeking a model keeps hanging around; another rebellious teenager has just showed up at the door; and, strangest of all, the EsCa's founder and patron, Estelle Carruthers, has just been found murdered. As bewildering array of clues point to both clients and staff, murder accusations begin to fly. Already struggling to handle the demands of an unfamiliar job, Jill must now call on the sleuthing skills she never knew she possessed in order to sort out puzzles that grow more complicated by the day. The list of suspects seems endless as Jill contemplates whether the murderer is a staff member, one of the adult residents, or, worse, one of the vulnerable teenagers seeking refuge from turmoil. In this gripping mystery, the reputation of the EsCa as well as the young director's future are on the line as a patron's secrets are revealed and a bloodthirsty killer seeks revenge.

The Brook Farm Murders

A Jill Szekely Mystery

By: Lois Wells Santalo

On returning to her college for graduate work, Jill Szekely moves into a commune where mysterious deaths have recently occurred. Within hours of her arrival, her old friend Renee goes missing along with her three-year-old son. Even while the commune members work out a recovery trick, other strange events occur. A paraplegic teacher at the next-door school for handicapped children also turns up missing, and in the search for him, a body is found--but not his. What is going on here? Does it have anything to do with Bridey, the woman who killed her own retarded child and has now returned after serving her prison time? Or with Jacqui, the crazy lady hastily whisked off to the Kirkbride institution? Or with Marty Gross, the MIA newly returned from a long sojourn in an Israeli kibbutz? All of these people seem to be caught in a firestorm of controversy, Bridey because she claims she's not really guilty even though she confessed, so someone else is; Jacqui who may have been wrongly incarcerated, and Marty whose parents have been fighting to get custody of his son--and Renee's. A Tarot card spread predicts a major disaster, and indeed it seems in the process of occurring.Things happen with no seeming relevance to each other. Even Jill, with her previous experience of investigation, cannot figure out how the events all relate to one another--yet she feels sure they do. She is convinced there could not be so many crises in one place without a connection. Jill and her visiting spouse, concert pianist Zoltan Szekely, set out to discover what it is--and soon find themselves involved to the point where their own lives are in danger along with the lives of thirty handicapped children in the Teddy Bear Academy next door. .
