CÓRDOBA - 950 CE One of Islam's most sacred relics, the arm bone of the prophet Muhammad, is stolen from the Great Mosque of Córdoba, calling into question the legitimacy of the Umayyad Caliphate and threatening the future of Europe's most enlightened culture. Investigator Solomon Levy, an amateur sleuth renowned for finding missing objects and persons, must race against time to find and return the holy relic before its annual display takes place in the Great Mosque. Solomon's search for the relic requires a perilous journey from romantic Córdoba to the Andalusian ports of Seville and Cádiz (Europe's oldest city) and leads him into a murky world where desire and need drive the intense competition for stolen relics. The Bone Relic is Book II of the Andalusian Trilogy.
Autorenporträt
Author Biography

William Mesusan lived and traveled in central Mexico where he pursued his dream of becoming a published writer. He wrote seven cover stories for El Ojo del Lago, Mexico's most widely read English-language magazine, along with a dozen and a half e-zine articles.

Two trips to Spain, and research into the country's past, inspired a series of novels set in 10th Century Islamic Spain during a little known time in history when Muslims, Jews, and Christians created a harmonious society based on religious tolerance and enlightened self-interest. He's self-published two books in The Andalusisan Trilogy series: The Galician Woman and The Bone Relic. This final book, The Missing Vizier will be followed by a prequel (The Lost Manuscript).

He put Andalusian series on hold to focus his energies on researching and writing a dystopian novel, The Sperm King, after reading Shanna H. Swan's book COUNTDOWN: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race. The urgency of the novel's themes propelled the narrative.

His other interests include organic gardening as well as playing guitar and writing songs in a variety of styles (jazz, country, and an eclectic mix). His collaboration with Serbian vocalist Jovana can be heard free on Soundcloud.com using the playlist title Jovana's Mix.
