Mixed Blood

After serving as a spy during World War II, Alex returns to Paris where he's asked by his great-grandmother to investigate the theft of animal hides from one of her factories in Casablanca. Someone has been selling the hides to a competitor, and her business is at stake. Alex would rather be doing other things, but he can't find it in his heart to refuse his great-grandmother's plea.

On the train to Casablanca, Alex starts to think that perhaps his adventure won't be so bad when he meets a gorgeous woman named Sylvia Mundi. She's been asked by her judicial superiors to conduct an investigation of her own. The two become quick friends, and there seems to be a promise of something more between them.

Alex's investigation and desires drive him into Sylvia's arms and then eventually to America, where he uncovers many secrets about his heritage and who he really is. He discovers that while names change, bloodlines stay the same in Silent Secrets.
