Merlin's Last Tango in Argentina

Step into a world where ancient textiles whisper deadly secrets and a talking cat holds the key to a murder mystery. Dr. Eliza Bennett, a brilliant textile historian, finds her quiet academic life shattered when a renowned tango dancer collapses dead on the dance floor of Buenos Aires’s famed La Sombra Apasionada. Dismissed by police as a heart attack, Eliza’s astute feline companion, Merlin, insists it was poison, hinting at a stolen poncho and a powerful, secretive family—the de la Cruz dynasty—on the vast Argentine Pampas.

What begins as a reluctant investigation to clear an innocent man—the proud, burdened Luis de la Cruz—escalates into a perilous race against time. As Eliza unravels a complex web of blackmail, betrayal, and a centuries-old family legacy, she discovers the poncho isn't merely a piece of fabric. It's an ingenious, woven map to a forgotten fortune, hidden in plain sight as a choreographed dressage routine only a master horseman can read
