I highly recommend all six to anyone who is fond of ...             To Lie with Lions: The Sixth Book of The House of Niccolo Dorothy Dunnett Vintage, 1999 nicholas lives This is an amazing series.

The Johnson Johnson/Dolly series is, as the other reviewer says, lighter and more easily digestible than Dunnett's historical sagas, but share all the same characteristics: a strong dose of intrigue, rousing good chases and oblique heroics. MOROCCAN TRAFFIC/SEND A ...             The Spring of the Ram: The Second Book of The House of Niccolo Dorothy Dunnett Vintage, 1999 Get Me on the Next Flight to Trabzond......
