Toledo, December 1193
For the first time in memory, Christmas, Hanukkah, and Ramadan descend upon Toledo at once.
The Plaza de Zocodover — the city's beating heart — becomes the center of a dangerous experiment: Christians, Jews, and Muslims will share the space for their sacred celebrations.
Sir John of Hampstead, Head of Investigations at the royal alcázar, sees a political catastrophe in the making. Rebecca DeToledo, a sharp-minded Jewish healer with a talent for uncovering truths, dares to hope coexistence might actually work.
Then the provocations begin.
Prayer rugs disappear. A sacred statue of Mary is smeared with dirt. The plaza's nativity scene is vandalized. Each time, the community rallies — and the fragile peace holds.
Until the body of a young Muslim man is found inside a church.
With suspicion spreading and tempers rising, Rebecca and John are drawn into a mystery far more perilous than holiday mischief. A murderer is carefully orchestrating the unrest — and if they fail to stop it, all Toledo may ignite.
Poison in the Season of Peace is a cozy historical mystery filled with winter celebrations, interfaith partnerships, and slow-burn romance.
