He had met her once. She was of barely average height, but she gave the impression that she was looking down on him. He remembered feeling embarrassed, as if he had failed her in some way. It's not as if she were a great beauty or simmeringly sexy in some way. No, Della was as non-descript as they come, a brunette with nothing particularly attractive about her. But the memory was indelible. And now, God only knows why, he had agreed to take her to dinner.
A "Delights" novel Part of the Kobekistan universe
The Emir plays with the minds and the bodies of some of his subjects. The husband of one of the slaves, a kidnapped Sicilian woman, tries to rescue her, and feels the full force of the Emir's wrath. A prostitute in a cheap brothel discovers his gratitude. A would-be rapist picks the wrong target and suffers for it. The Emir explores more of his magnificent Palace complex and discovers some very interesting rooms indeed. This is the author’s least favourite novel in the Delights series.

An American college girl studying in France is arrested while traveling in eastern Europe. She is harshly interrogated and released.

1947; a girl's dismembered body was found, placed by the roadside as though she had simply lay down there, her body halved. The police allowed the evidence to be compromised by the hacks who trampled over everything and the murderers were never caught; not by the police anyway. This is the story of what I like to think happened; vengeful women carry out their own investigations and bring those guilty to a justice of their own, one weak link gives up the others; retribution is divinely served.
