Author DL Havlin announces the release of the 2nd book in the Harper Sturgis, Iron Woman series… “Out of Italy”. It follows the very popular novel, “Turtle Point,” and has another sunny climate, Tuscany, as its setting. A client’s clues from her immigrant family launch Sturgis on a deadly treasure hunt. Harper rapidly solves the location of a vast treasure, but finds her monumental challenge will be how to get it “Out of Italy.” Unscrupulous characters want the treasure as much as she and include members of the mafia and unsavory clergy. History plays an important part as Havlin recounts the story of Mussolini’s mistress, Claretta Petacci, and the rumored theft of the Italian dictator’s gold. Harper outwits the competition and finds a truly unique way of bringing the gold home.

The book is available on Amazon  https://amzn.to/3uSTdw4 . Contact your local bookstore to purchase or order. Signed copies are available directly from the author…. www.dlhavlin.com .
