A return to Centuries & Sleuths of two well known local authors David J. Walker and Frances Mc Namara to discuss and sign their latest mysteries.
David J. Walker for Company Orders
Even a good man may feel driven to sign on with the devil.
Paul Clark is a Catholic priest who’s been on the fast track to becoming a bishop. But he suddenly faces a heart-wrenching problem, when choices he made as a young man come roaring back into his life. A mysterious woman, who claims to be with “an agency of the federal government,” offers to solve his problem. But there’s a price to pay—Father Clark must undertake some very un-priestly actions.
An attack in a Chicago alley…a daring escape from a Mexican jail…and a fight to the death in a Guyanese jungle…all these, and more, must be survived in order to protect someone he loves.
This priest is about to learn how much easier it is to preach love than to live it.
Frances Mc Namara for Death at Woods Hole (4th Emily Cabot Mystery)
Exhausted after the tumult of the Pullman Strike of 1894, Emily
Cabot is looking forward to a restful summer visit to Cape Cod. She has
plans to collect “beasties” for the Marine Biological Laboratory,
alongside other visiting scientists from the University of Chicago.
She also hopes to enjoy romantic clambakes with Dr. Stephen Chapman,
although they must keep an important secret from their friends.
But her summer takes a dramatic turn when she finds a dead man floating
in a fish tank. In order to solve his murder she must first deal with
dueling scientists, a testy local sheriff, the theft of a fortune, and
uncooperative weather.
The Emily Cabot Mysteries series will continue to delight history buffs and mystery lovers alike.
