Venture to the realm of Marquee where thieves and criminals loom the streets amidst the watchful eye of rough and tumble detectives OR stroll down the idyllic Novella Shoreline, where elegant skyscrapers and charming boutiques set the stage for chance encounters of the heart. description from the publisher
